Gigabyte: Severe failures reach UEFI firmware
Researchers have discovered critical vulnerabilities in gigabyte firmware implementations, allowing attackers to disable UEFI safety mechanisms and take control of affected systems. Failures reside in System Management Mode (SMM), a highly privileged CPU mode dealing with low -level operations.
The exploitation of vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2025-7026 to CVE-2025-7029, allows the execution of arbitrary code before loading the operating system. This enables writing in memory specified by the attacker and the control of critical flash operations.
An attacker with local or remote administrative privileges can explore these failures to execute arbitrary code on SMM, bypassing operating system protections. Successful exploration can disable UEFI safety mechanisms such as Secure Boot.
Persistent firmware implants, not detected by traditional tools, can be installed, ensuring continuous control over the system. Binarly has identified and reported the failures, warning that these implants may persist even after reinstallation of the operating system.
Gigabyte recognized the flaws and launched firmware updates to solve them. Users should monitor Gigabyte's security site to get update instructions.

The 9,000+ people laid off by Microsoft's gaming division in early July include 200 employees of the King studio, known for Candy Crush Saga. Reportedly, they were replaced with AI tools that the employees themselves helped develop and train.
According to internal sources at King, developers have spent years building proprietary generative AI tools to optimize tasks such as level creation, interface design, scriptwriting, and quality assurance. These AI systems, trained on employee-generated content, now perform work more efficiently and at a lower cost than before. Some employees have described the shift as a “dystopian” transformation of their creative workflows.
