BMC AMI Security solution: Automatically protects, detects, and responds to threats on the mainframe
AMIE, our research medical AI system, demonstrates real-time clinical video consultation capabilities in a first-of-its-kind study.
Google's AMIE research medical AI system demonstrates real-time clinical video consultations in a first-of-its-kind simulated study.
Google introduced AMIE, its research medical AI system, demonstrating real-time clinical video consultation capabilities in a first-of-its-kind study. The evaluation was conducted in simulated settings, extending the AMIE diagnostic dialogue research line to multimodal video consultations. AMIE remains a research system rather than a deployed clinical product.
VU#718077: UEFI Shell module embedded in SPI Flash can be used to bypass Secure Boot
CERT/CC details VU#718077: UEFI Shell embedded in SPI flash lets attackers bypass Secure Boot and execute pre-boot code; patches issued.
CERT/CC's VU#718077, reported by Eclypsium researcher Stas Lyakhov, describes how a UEFI Shell embedded in SPI flash can be abused by attackers who can modify UEFI boot configuration, creating multiple boot entries that bypass controls preventing the Shell from launching under Secure Boot. The Shell's dmem and mm commands allow arbitrary physical memory read/write, letting attackers overwrite Secure Boot values and execute unauthorized pre-boot code that can persist across reboots and OS reinstalls while degrading EDR effectiveness. AMI confirmed its Aptio UEFI BDS module is affected (CVE-2026-33197), and Cisco published an advisory for a variation affecting UCS Servers and UCS-based appliances (CVE-2026-20293). Firmware patches are being rolled out through OEM and IBV BIOS build pipelines.
