  It’s not going to be there because if you’re compromised via physical access, no one is going to give a shit about this exploit… it’s like someone having the keys to your house and then being worried they’re going to smash out a window to gain access.

    I don’t think you’re following along here. The physical access would have already happened prior to the CPU even being in my possession.

      I see what you’re saying. You’re assuming someone grabbed a bunch of cpus, fucked with them, then tossed them back into the box and sold them as new.

        Exactly, if I were a bad actor with access to the stock that’s what I’d do. I’m sure there are multiple points along the supply chain where it could potentially happen.
