Is there a way we could have updated BIN files? I'm working on the March 2023 DBX update and would like to verify the install.

There were new UEFI Revocation List Files posted on March 14, 2023.
https://uefi.org/revocationlistfile
Use the procedure here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-guidance-for-applying-secure-boot-dbx-update-kb4575994-e3b9e4cb-a330-b3ba-a602-15083965d9ca
I downloaded 'x64_DBXUpdate.bin' and used 'SplitDbxContent.ps1' to extract 'content.bin' & 'signature.p7' and then used 'Set-SecureBootUefi' to appy them and reboot.

The PowerShell scripts on this page successfully confirmed the patch was applied, but be sure to do:

PS> .\Check-Dbx.ps1 .\content.bin

If you get the error:

Cannot convert value "System.Byte[]" to type "System.Guid". Error: "Byte array for GUID must be exactly 16 bytes long."

...it's because your passing the wrong '.bin' file, like 'x64_DBXUpdate.bin'.

Looks like they just posted some updates on the 9th of May too.

Did everyone else use the 2010 date for the -Time parameter like is posted on the MS support article? I looked up why you need to use the -Time parameter but I don't understand why the date is 2010.

Trying to find information about the Time parameter but description in documentation is too vague.

For now the timestamp 2010-03-06T19:17:21Z looks like a magic number.

Anyone has an explanation on this?

Looking at the documentation of the Set-SecureBootUEFI, I'm not sure it matters as long as it matches a certain format. See link below.

I have not tested this at this point. I will test on the next needed update.

I also found that, in PowerShell, if you use the Get-Date, you can format the date to match the format like this.

Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ"

I modified Get-UEFIDatabaseSignatures.ps1 to make my life a bit easier-- It can accept a filename as input, and doesn't need SplitDbxContent.ps1 anymore.

Are the DBX updates cumulative, do each dbx update need to be checked?

To my knowledge, you should only need to check against the latest update. Sometimes the remove and entry and replace it with a newer signature.

Yes, it is a magic number embedded in the script that is creating the files provided by Microsoft. The parameter supplied to the Powershell cmdlet must match what is already embedded in the files. I think it was the date the I authored the original script that they're still using. So long as "-AppendWrite" mode is being used, its value is meaningless, it just has to match. If -AppendWrite is dropped, well, that probably means that the world is ending, but then they would need to provide a larger value that was used by the BIOS vendor.

From a security standpoint, it should only be necessary to install the latest, but products like Nessus do not understand these complexities, so you have to waste precious dbx space.

I've put together the scripts on this page along with some modifications and additional scripts to enable easy (only two clicks required) checking of the UEFI Secure Boot variables. I've also added checks for the new 2023 Microsoft signing certificates that are being added to the DB in phases beginning with this month's cumulative update. I've put the scripts and files here.
