Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2026-25250

Cataloged around a Secure Boot disable technique, this security-feature bypass reaches Windows 11 26H1 down to Windows 10 1809 at CVSS 9.8 with 64 percent EPSS. Turning off Secure Boot opens the door to boot-level malware that survives beneath the operating system. Because it names a concrete disable method, treat it as a practical firmware-trust risk rather than an abstract one.

Do this: Apply the update across Windows 11 26H1 and 1809 systems, then verify Secure Boot remains enabled in firmware afterward.
