TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
ETH Zurich researchers disclosed Fabricked, a deterministic exploit that abuses AMD EPYC Infinity Fabric and boot-time firmware behavior to break SEV-SNP protections.
The attack can prevent proper RMP setup, letting a malicious cloud host read or alter confidential VM memory.
Researchers also showed forged attestation reports, undermining the trust model for confidential computing workloads.
AMD identified the issue as CVE-2025-54510; the impact spans EPYC systems and related firmware paths.
