BIOS

Updated Intel SIC to 8063.00.
Updated CSME to 15.0.55.2751v6 Corporate.
Update Microcode to 0xBE.
Added support for Framework Laptop 13 Pro features - Enabled compatibility for the haptic touchpad, touch panel, and 74W battery.
Fixed an issue where the system was unable to boot from partially locked self-encrypting drives (SEDs)

Secure Fix: CVE-2025-32008 - Out-of-bounds write in the firmware for the Intel(R) AMT and Intel(R) Standard Manageability within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Network adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (low) impacts. (CVSS 8.6)
Secure Fix: CVE-2025-20080 - Null pointer dereference in the firmware for some Intel(R) AMT and Intel(R) Standard Manageability within Ring 0: Kernel may allow a denial of service. Network adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts. (CVSS 6.8)
Secure Fix: CVE-2025-27708 - Out-of-bounds read in the firmware for some Intel(R) Converged Security and Management Engine (CSME) Firmware (FW) within Ring 0: Kernel may allow an information disclosure. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts. (CVSS 4.1)
Secure Fix: CVE-2025-31648 - Improper handling of values in the microcode flow for some Intel(R) Processor Family may allow an escalation of privilege. Startup code and smm adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present with special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (low), integrity (low) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (low), integrity (low) and availability (none) impacts. (CVSS 3.9)
