Some Lenovo System x server BIOS/UEFI versions, when Secure Boot mode is enabled by a system administrator, do not properly authenticate signed code before booting it. As a result, an attacker with physical access to the system could boot unsigned code.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
