Hello,
I'm not an active member of flashrom "team", but in my life i have done some flash rounds
YOU have choose this version for the bios
and
for what I can see:
is NOT the best choose.
In my opinion the right choose should be :
or in old vesion this:
I have take all this information from
https://protectli.com/kb/bios-versions-for-the-vault/?intsrc=eu
as you can easy check it out...
I don't know actualy what is your PC state, but if you have a #bash terminal active "I THINK" you can try a soft shutdown with:
:$ sudo poweroff
or
:$ sudo shutdown -h now
or
:$ sudo shutdown -h +0
also without "sudo" (this because I don't know if you actualy are working like superuser or not).
Keep on mind that this is ONLY what I should do in your case, but I am NOBODY to assure you that this will solve your problem !!!
TAKE CARE (or wait for other staff suggetion)

Are you sure you would like to flash this device?
Flashing new firmware onto any hardware is potentially dangerous in that if the
procedure is interrupted or otherwise not able to complete, your hardware may be rendered
useless. Please proceed with caution. If there are any questions, please contact
Protectli support BEFORE proceeding.
Unless there is a compelling reason to update the BIOS, we recommend to stay with your
current known working BIOS version
