Abstract
An information handling system includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a basic input/output system (BIOS). The processor monitors the BIOS for a unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) event. In response to a detection of the UEFI event, the processor reads a preauthorized event callback order. The processor compares a callback order for the UEFI event with the preauthorized event callback order. Based on the callback order for the UEFI event not matching the preauthorized event callback order, the processor detects a potential vulnerability in the UEFI event. In response to the detected potential vulnerability in the UEFI event, the processor dispatches one or more callback functions from the preauthorized event callback order.
