Detection Guidance

Check InsydeH2O firmware versions for 6.9 or earlier on ARM platforms. Use UEFI variable inspection tools like 'efivar' or 'fwupdmgr' to examine HDD Password storage. Compare firmware against Insyde's provided fixes (Kernel versions 05.63.21 or 05.72.21).

Mitigation Strategies

Update InsydeH2O firmware to versions 05.63.21 (Kernel 5.6) or 05.72.21 (Kernel 5.7) immediately. Restrict local access to systems. Monitor UEFI variables for unauthorized changes. Apply Insyde's security patches as soon as possible.
