Real, but low real-world risk
A genuine vulnerability on paper, but EPSS shows little real-world exploitation — the base score may overstate urgency. This is not the same as a false positive.

Multiple Microsoft-sigend UEFI SHIM bootloaders are vulnerable to SecureBoot bypass. An attacker with administrative privileges or the ability to modify the boot process could use one of the vulnerable shim bootloaders to bypass Secure Boot protections and execute arbitrary code before the operating system loads. Specific UEFI DBX update is required to block these vulnerable boot loaders.
