Today I got the bios update W78 01.04.02 on my laptop. In the description of the security fixes of this update released in 2025, it is written that it fixes among others the critical security vulnerability CVE-2021-39301 which is a dangerous and easily exploitable security hole revealed in 2021!

How is it possible that after 4 years of its discovery, this very dangerous security hole still existed in my computer till today in 2025

How could I trust that HP resolves these very critical and risky security vulnerabilities at time and not after 4 years.

I saw that HP solved this vulnerability in 2022 on all laptops of that time. Then why did it reappear in newer models?? 

If anyone from HP team sees this, please send this message to the security team of the HP or any other team responsible for it and I would like to receive an answer from them on this very specific issue !
