Instructions for Windows Installer:

  1. Run the .exe.
  2. Click yes to reboot.
  3. Wait for the firmware progress bar to complete, and then the system will reboot.

Please note that you must update with a charger attached.

Linux/LVFS

Please note that you must update with a charger attached, then run:

fwupdmgr refresh --force

then

fwupdmgr get-updates

then

fwupdmgr update

Please note that you must update with a charger attached.

LVFS may not update if the battery is 100% charged. LVFS uses the battery status to determine if it is safe to apply updates. However if our battery is at 100% and the charger is off, we set the battery charging status to false. In this case you can discharge your battery a few percent, then plug in AC again and run fwupdmgr update.

Linux/Other/UEFI Shell update

Note that if you use the EFI shell update with Windows, you should suspend Bitlocker if enabled before updating using the EFI updater.

Instructions for EFI shell update:

  1. Extract contents of zip folder to a FAT32 formatted USB drive. Cleanly unmount the drive before physically removing it, otherwise the BIOS update may not function correctly.
  2. Attach a charger to your device while updating.
  3. Boot your system while pressing F12 and boot from the thumb drive.
  4. Let startup.nsh run automatically.
  5. Follow the instructions to install the update.

Reporting Issues

To report issues we have created a public issue tracker on github. GitHub · Where software is built

We hope that this is a better way to track issues with community involvement moving forward as we have found it difficult to both gather relevant information about issues people are reporting on the forums, and track the issues through their lifecycle in a transparent way.

If you do experience an issue with the update that is related to your system firmware, please post as complete a description as you can, including relevant system information, and external peripherals. Please note that we do not currently have a SLA for responding to issues on github, but we will be reviewing them through the bios release process, and will review them for future updates as well.

If you have an issue regarding hardware, broken devices, returns, etc, this is not the place, please contact Framework Support. https://frame.work/support

It is this vulnerability description.

The quote about the PHP issue in the Life Insurance Management System 1.0 is CVE-2025-2064, not 20064. When I google “CVE-2025-20064” the wrong CVE (2064, the one you cited) is the first to come up. Did you perhaps click on the wrong link when looking for the CVE description?

According to NIST CVE-2025-20064 doesn’t yet exist (or is reserved)
