CVE-2019-17520

The Bluetooth Low Energy implementation on Texas Instruments SDK through 3.30.00.20 for CC2640R2 devices does not properly restrict the SM Public Key packet on reception, allowing attackers in radio range to cause a denial of service crash via crafted packets. Recent assessments: pbarry-r7 at Apr...

CVE-2019-17061: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input

The Bluetooth Low Energy BLE stack implementation on Cypress PSoC 4 through 3.62 devices does not properly restrict the BLE Link Layer header and executes certain memory contents upon receiving a packet with a Link Layer ID LLID equal to zero. This allows attackers within radio range to cause...

Art Imitates Life: Lessons from the Final Season of Mr. Robot

Fair warning: if you aren’t caught up, there are spoilers for the first episode of the final season of Mr. Robot below. It’s an alien sensation to be watching the fourth and final season of Mr. Robot as a civilian: having worked as a technical consultant for the first three seasons of the show,...

CVE-2019-17627

The Yale Bluetooth Key application for mobile devices allows unauthorized unlock actions by sniffing Bluetooth Low Energy BLE traffic during one authorized unlock action, and then calculating the authentication key via simple computations on the hex digits of a valid authentication request. This...

CVE-2019-17627

Summary: CVE-2019-17627 affects the Yale Bluetooth Key mobile app and Yale ZEN-R lock family. The issue lets an attacker sniff BLE traffic during an authorized unlock and then compute the authentication key from the hex digits of a valid authentication request, enabling unauthorized unlock action...

CVE-2019-16518: Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere

An issue was discovered on Swell Kit Mod devices that use the Vandy Vape platform. An attacker may be able to trigger an unintended temperature in the victim's mouth and throat via Bluetooth Low Energy BLE packets that specify large power or voltage values...

Authentication flaw

An exploitable authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the Bluetooth Low Energy BLE authentication module of YI M1 Mirrorless Camera V3.2-cn. An attacker can send a set of BLE commands to trigger this vulnerability, resulting in sensitive data leakage e.g., personal photos. An attacker can...

CVE-2019-13953

CVE-2019-13953 affects the BLE authentication module in the YI M1 Mirrorless Camera V3.2-cn. The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass authentication by sending a sequence of BLE commands, enabling sensitive data leakage (e.g., personal photos) and the ability to control the camera to record...

CVE-2019-13953: Undefined Security Weakness

An exploitable authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the Bluetooth Low Energy BLE authentication module of YI M1 Mirrorless Camera V3.2-cn. An attacker can send a set of BLE commands to trigger this vulnerability, resulting in sensitive data leakage e.g., personal photos. An attacker can...

A Secure “Smart” Kettle?

We haven’t looked at smart kettles for a long time, mostly as the UK market leader, Smarter, fixed their security with the iKettle 3.0. So I got quite excited when a colleague pointed out the Xiaomi ‘smart’ kettle a few weeks back. It’s the first kettle with a mobile app that we’ve seen for a...

CVE-2018-20957

CVE-2018-20957 affects Tapplock devices, where the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) subsystem before 2018-06-12 is vulnerable to replay attacks. The issue, described across multiple sources (NVD entry and related advisories), indicates an access-control/authentication weakness in the BLE bridge enablin...

CVE-2018-20958

Tapplock’s BLE unlock mechanism before 2018-06-12 relies on Key1 and SerialNo, which are derived from the device’s MAC address that is broadcast publicly. This weak linkage means that credential material used for unlocks is effectively tied to observable hardware identifiers. The Red Hat entry an...

Design/Logic Flaw

On Fitbit activity-tracker devices, certain addresses never change. According to the popets-2019-0036.pdf document, this leads to "permanent trackability" and "considerable privacy concerns" without a user-accessible anonymization feature. The devices, such as Charge 2, transmit Bluetooth Low...

CVE-2014-10374: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

On Fitbit activity-tracker devices, certain addresses never change. According to the popets-2019-0036.pdf document, this leads to "permanent trackability" and "considerable privacy concerns" without a user-accessible anonymization feature. The devices, such as Charge 2, transmit Bluetooth Low...

Hacked Hair Straighteners Can Threaten Homes

Researchers have found a way to successfully hack connected hair straighteners to turn them on and increase the heating element up to its maximum temperature—causing a serious fire hazard for unsuspecting owners. Pen Test Partners decided to put the Glamoriser hair straightener through its securi...

Burning down the house with IoT

For years we’ve been trying to set fire to ‘smart’ things by hacking them. We got some charring on the iKettle, but nothing more. Then we found some smart hair straighteners. The Glamoriser straighteners were promoted heavily on TV at Christmas; they piqued my interest because of the BLE...

Smart Lock Turns Out to be Not So Smart, or Secure

Researchers are warning a keyless smart door lock made by U-tec, called Ultraloq, could allow attackers to track down where the device is being used and easily pick the lock – either virtually or physically. Ultraloq is a Bluetooth fingerprint and touchscreen door lock sold for about $200. It...
