That grub has security vulnerabities does not surprise me, it's just too big. That's why Lennart recommends systemd-boot. (Incidently a Microsoft employee, but I have no information that he would have been involved in these discoveries.) U-boot again is typical embedded software, a field generally known more for hacks than strict programming practices. So I cannot say I would be shocked. That said, I would be surprised if systemd-boot or Microsoft's loader had zero vulnerabilities hiding somewhere.

When does Microsoft open their source for searching vulnerabilities?

The creator of SystemD recommends systemd-boot? Seems legit and unbiased.

There is probably an overlong yet superficial, easy to read post on his blog about it.
