Microsoft Flags Windows Security Feature Bypass Vulnerabilities

Microsoft published Security Update Guide entries for CVE-2024-49114 and CVE-2022-21899, identifying Windows security weaknesses that could allow a security feature bypass. One of the referenced advisories explicitly describes CVE-2022-21899 as a Windows Extensible Firmware Interface Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability, pointing to risk in the platform’s boot and firmware trust chain.

The available references provide limited technical detail, but both entries indicate Microsoft formally tracked and disclosed the issues through its Security Update Guide and advisory portal. For defenders, the disclosures highlight the need to review Microsoft guidance for affected Windows and firmware-related components, validate patch status, and prioritize systems where bypassing built-in protections could weaken secure boot or other platform security controls.
