Just because google returns a bunch of malicious links to a search done by you does not mean that our repos have been compromised. The same search done here doesn't return those links. I am going to remove those links from your post as there's no point in having pointers to known malicious content even when it's obscured.

There was a recent update to the "shim" packages that are used for secure boot. It's much more likely that your machine has applied that and something about your configuration has broken as a result. All CentOS packages are GPG signed and unless you've done something stupid like disable GPG checking for the base and updates repos then any compromised package would need to have been signed by the official CentOS 7 signing key.

What sort of VM is this? When was it created and what leads you to believe that there is a corrupt or missing EFI file? What file is missing?
I've created a new VM and will reproduce the error. You need to understand this is an error after update. After reboot. Then it's inaccessible and the error appears in a VMM Hyper-V console window because it's inaccessible.

I'm unclear what these "shims" are you're referring to and why EFI would suddenly be an issue when we've never had anything like this occur before.

What media are you using to perform the initial install? And what do you do post-install? Does this happen for you if you just do a minimal install and then yum update?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Install from Centos minimal (your iso).

reboot

yum update

reboot

Borked.

Obviously, it's able to boot okay. It also happened on a machine I've been running for months, which has been rebooted a number of times. Only after this update, it was dead.

We've also reproduced this using a template and that was also the 1804 minimal iso.

We still need to see the error.

There's 336 updates. Your're going to have to wait a minute.

Re: I believe CentOS repos have been compromised

If it has 336 updates then that's not a minimal install. A minimal 7.5 install here and a subsequent yum update shows 82 updates and 1 install (new kernel).

Which exact minimal iso filename did you use - I'm trying to replicate your install and need to know if you installed 7.5, 7.0 or something in-between? Did you check its sha256sum against the list published in the relevant release notes for that particular version?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

So, I have just done a minimal install from the 7.5.1804 DVD (default install type is the same package set as the minimal iso itself). After the install completed I rebooted, connected to it, changed /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to point both base and updates to the first link that you gave that was returned by the mirrorlist http://mirror.team-cymru.com/CentOS/7.5 ... s}/x86_64/ then ran a yum update. 82 updates and a new kernel later I rebooted and everything is fine.

No. We've been building VMs with this ISO for months. It's not the ISO. I'm not sure why you're focused on the ISO being the issue.

I have to provide a screen shot as since the error is in a console window I can't cut/paste from it.

I'm not sure if you don't know what a VM or Hyper-V is but you seem to be ignoring that fact.
