Last year at CppCon there was a UEFI security talk by Dr. Rian Quinn, “[…] a lead developer and co-founder of the Bareflank Hypervisor, and is an active member of several open source projects including OpenXT.[…]”

[…]In this presentation, we will examine how C++ works behind the scenes as well as how to include C++ and the Standard Library in freestanding environments. Such environments include shellcode, UEFI, embedded systems (with no OS available), and unikernels. […]Finally, this presentation will conclude with a demonstration of a UEFI application written in C++ as well as a demonstration of leveraging C++ in shellcode.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t find the slides for this talk along with the other slides on: https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2019
