This is the most shocking part. You’d think that AMD as a high-tech company has some smart people working for them. These are very basic things that any half decent programmers should get right. If at no part of the process of implementing this anyone brought up that this is not secure, that is extremely worrying and indicative of a very broken development process. It’s not like a proper cryptographic signature costs extra. This is just pure incompetence.
Not surprising at all. I work in IT and security is by and large reactionary and based on scans that are often rudimentary. As far as training devs on good security practices there's next to nothing. You learn from getting your hand slapped or you don't learn at all.
As someone who is frequently the one slapping hands (and backs of heads), I can confirm this.
And still they don't learn.
