The UEFI spec makes CSM and Secure Boot mutually exclusive. CSM
enabled renders Secure Boot impossible. So I'm not sure how the
firmware can simultaneously enforce Secure Boot, but then permit the
loading of non-compliant bootloaders. That'd seem to be a Secure Boot
break worthy of a firmware update. In particular if it's also possible
to invoke CSM boot via NVRAM variables.
