Legacy BIOS on the firewall - how much of a risk for remote attacks?
-
If someone is running a Protectli vault that only supports a legacy Coreboot BIOS, how much of a risk to remote attacks does this pose?
Would it be worth updating to a device with a more recently released BIOS?
Do all Protectli vaults support pfSense or are there any considerations to keep in mind?
-
Very low to none IMO. Of a remote attack at least.

BIOS attacks almost always require hands on to deploy. They can also be deployed by tricking the user into using a compromised BIOS.
I would also rate the chances of a remote attack as very low. The chances of a socially engineered attack has a higher probability. Your careful actions should make you safe.
