Intel has confirmed that the source code for the Alder Lake BIOS was leaked. What will the consequences be?
It’s official — the source code for the Intel Alder Lake BIOS was leaked, and Intel has confirmed it. A total of 6GB of code used for building the BIOS/UEFI source code is now out in the wild, having been posted on GitHub and 4chan.
The BIOS/UEFI source code is responsible for initializing the hardware even before the operating system has the chance to load. As such, it’s responsible for establishing secure connections to important mechanisms within the computer, such as the Trusted Platform Module . The BIOS plays an important role in any computer, so it’s certainly not good that the source code for it could now be in the hands of nefarious threat actors.
Intel’s statement implies that the most sensitive data had already been scrubbed from the source code before it was released to external partners. The source code contains many references to Lenovo, including “Lenovo String Service,” “Lenovo Cloud Service,” and “Lenovo Secure Suite.” Bleeping Computer notes that all of the code was developed by Insyde Software Corp.
