Researchers from firmware security firm Eclypsium emphasized that the Illumina iSeq 100 DNA sequencer, widely used in gene-sequencing labs, fails to enforce Secure Boot, exposing it to critical vulnerabilities that could be exploited by firmware attacks.
The study reveals that the iSeq 100's Compatibility Support Mode allows it to boot from outdated BIOS and OS versions, which are susceptible to malware. This failure to utilize Secure Boot exposes sensitive environments to potential threats, undermining trust in security.
