A vulnerability was reported in BIOS for ThinkPad P14s Gen 2, P15s Gen 2, T14 Gen 2, and T15 Gen 2 that could cause the system to recover to insecure settings if the BIOS becomes corrupt.

Weakness

When the product encounters an error condition or failure, its design requires it to fall back to a state that is less secure than other options that are available, such as selecting the weakest encryption algorithm or using the most permissive access control restrictions.
