Rememeber: never ask “is this Microsoft security product backdoored?”
Instead ask: “how exactly is it backdoored? How many back doors are there?”
@GossiTheDog Also: that’s worse?
- Microsoft and intentionally backdooring BitLocker
- Microsoft unintentionally backdooring bitlocker -

Mitigation = BitLocker PIN and BIOS password lock.

I think my prior toot on NightmareEclipse auto deleted so to make a perm one - it isn’t me. I suspect it’s somebody who used to work at MSFT, who departed after my era.
For anybody looking at this, testing showed two things:
- TPM unlocked the storage
- it provides a login bypass, as you’re dumped as SYSTEM prior to Windows Hello or password loginBitLocker operates without a PIN by default so it’s basically a big gap, it’s unclear how this code made it into the production version of Windows.

I should point out I’ve only tested with one version of Windows 11 - maybe the scope is smaller.

@GossiTheDog I'd be highly surprised if it didn't have a backdoor. Microsoft is not a company you should trust -

I was worried I'd run out of tools that do not require opening a computer/laptop case, now that Microsoft's planning to patch Bitpixie this year.
But Windows is a gift that just keeps on giving

@GossiTheDog I always assumed anything that could unlock an encrypted drive with no password or other authentication from the user could be bypassed. I figured if you don't have to enter a password, you have to assume that neither does anybody else.

@GossiTheDog hi just out of curiosity why would a bios password help / be required? is that only for if pcr7 isn't bound?

@GossiTheDog why is Microsoft so lazy when it comes to developing mission critical software
-
@mkoek @GossiTheDog you can also usually get the same general result in this config by poking the motherboard with a logic analyser and dumping the TPM data off the bus.
@gsuberland @mkoek @GossiTheDog Unless Microsoft made another mistake this shouldn't be possible. Accessing disk encryption keys should always use what is called a "salted session", where the communication between TPM and application is encrypted, precisely to prevent passive attacks on the bus.

@GossiTheDog thanks God i can recover an Old ssd whose bitlocker key is somewhere in the short-circuited mainboard Something Something Secure Module and I happen to not have a backup of that specific bitlocker key

@barubary @GossiTheDog It might be a "We've to deliver this and test this quicker" and someone forgot to remove.
A backdoor implies planning and we're talking about Microsoft.
I'd bet for bad QA and controls and lazy development with a pinch of "hurry, deliver now"
Which is ... Worse?
@prsfalken @barubary @GossiTheDog they’re excellent at planning Copilot and spyware integrations, though.
