Description

Legacy pairing and secure-connections pairing authentication in Bluetooth BR/EDR Core Specification v5.2 and earlier may allow an unauthenticated user to complete authentication without pairing credentials via adjacent access. An unauthenticated, adjacent attacker could impersonate a Bluetooth BR/EDR master or slave to pair with a previously paired remote device to successfully complete the authentication procedure without knowing the link key.

Weakness classification

  • CWE-290: Authentication Bypass by Spoofing
  • CWE-757: Selection of Less-Secure Algorithm During Negotiation ('Algorithm Downgrade')
