Sophos took immediate steps to remediate CVE-2022-3236 – an unauthenticated and remote code execution vulnerability affecting the Sophos Firewall Webadmin and User Portal HTTP interfaces – with an automated hotfix sent out in September 2022. Through its advisory published on September 23, 2022, it also alerted users who don't receive automatic hotfixes to apply the update themselves. The advisory stated the vulnerability had previously been used against "a small set of specific organizations, primarily in the South Asia region." In December, Sophos released v19.5 GA GA with an official fix.
Key Takeaways

• As there are no public proof-of-concept exploits for CVE-2022-3236, we created our own to determine its potential for mass exploitation.
• We scanned internet-facing Sophos Firewalls and found more than 4,000 firewalls that were too old to receive a hotfix.
• We encourage Sophos Firewall administrators to look through their logs to determine if they see indications of exploit attempts. Two files to focus on include /logs/csc.log and /log/validationError.log.
• Internet-facing firewalls appear to largely be eligible for hotfixes and the default authentication captcha likely prevented mass exploitation.

On 2022-12-11, I decided to setup Secure Boot on my new desktop with a help of sbctl. Unfortunately I have found that my firmware was… accepting every OS image I gave it, no matter if it was trusted or not.

As I have later discovered on 2022-12-16, it wasn't just broken firmware, MSI had changed their Secure Boot defaults to allow booting on security violations(!!).
