Microsoft is finding open source bootloaders much faster by using its Security Copiliot AI.
Seems like a good use of AI. I do wonder if the fixes will be just as quick.
Using Security Copilot, we were able to identify potential security issues in bootloader functionalities, focusing on filesystems due to their high vulnerability potential. This approach saved our team approximately a week’s worth of time that would have otherwise been spent manually reviewing the content. Through a series of prompts, we identified and refined security issues, ultimately uncovering an exploitable integer overflow vulnerability.

| Analyzing open-source bootloaders: Finding vulnerabilities faster with AI Microsoft Security Blog |
| Using Microsoft Security Copilot to expedite the discovery process, Microsoft has uncovered several vulnerabilities in multiple open-source bootloaders impacting all operating systems relying on Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot. Through a series of prompts, we identified and refined security issues, ultimately uncovering an exploitable integer overflow vulnerability in the GRUB2, U-boot, and Barebox bootloaders. |
