BIOS Release Notes not sufficiently transparant / accurate?

This is not CVE-2025-3052. If you follow the link from the the NVD vulnerability page linked by @tommi_virtanen above to the vulnerability report at cert.org, it says the following:

UEFI firmware applications DTBios and BiosFlashShell from DTResearch contain a vulnerability that allows Secure Boot to be bypassed using a specially crafted NVRAM variable.
cert.org

Neither DTBios nor BiosFlashShell are the UEFI shell implicated in Eclipsium’s article.

It goes on to say,

The vulnerability stems from improper handling of a runtime NVRAM variable that enables an arbitrary write primitive
ibid.

The mm command documented in Eclipsium’s report is not “improper handling of a runtime NVRAM variable.”

It is possible a CVE has not yet been issued for this vulnerability. Perhaps no CNA has been involved.

The release notes you are assessing as being insufficiently transparent or accurate state:

Added Framework’s dbx key
3.24 release thread

This tracks with Eclipsium’s table indicating that a DBX update was targeted for release in 1.24.
