SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open KInfoCenter (Infozentrum).
2. Navigate to "Devices" and select "Firmware Security".

Observed Result:
Upon selecting "Firmware Security", the loading icon spins indefinitely without loading any information. Although it can be closed by clicking the 'X' button, the application seems to have crashed, persistently consuming memory and running in the background. It requires manual termination via the System Monitor. This issue is highly disruptive to normal system usage.

Expected Result:
Accessing "Firmware Security" within KInfoCenter should load the relevant information promptly without causing the application to crash or hang indefinitely. Terminating the process manually through the System Monitor should not be necessary for normal operation.

Cannot reproduce in Plasma 6. I recall this being a problem for certain Plasma 5 released, but it seems to be fixed in 6 already.
