Severity by source
AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
AV:A reflects BLE radio-range constraint; PR:N confirmed since spoofing bypasses authentication without credentials; full CIA impact follows from complete BLE session takeover.
Primary rating from Vendor (Silabs).

Spoofing an already bonded device can force either RS9116W or SiWx917 to re-pair/bond with a rogue device. See V1 in BLERP paper below
AnalysisAI
BLE re-pairing attacks against Silicon Labs RS9116W and SiWx917 modules allow an adjacent unauthenticated attacker to spoof a previously bonded device and force the target to re-bond with a rogue device, yielding full BLE session control. Both WiseConnect SDK 2.x (before 2.14.0) and 4.x (before 4.1.0) are confirmed affected per vendor release notes and the academic BLERP (BLE Re-Pairing Attacks and Defenses) paper published at NDSS. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The target device must be running a vulnerable WiseConnect SDK version (2.x before 2.14.0 or 4.x before 4.1.0) on RS9116W or SiWx917 hardware. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.8 High score is partially offset by the AV:A (adjacent network) requirement - exploitation is constrained to BLE radio range, typically 10-100 meters depending on antenna and environment, which eliminates purely remote internet-scale attacks. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker positions within BLE radio range of a deployed RS9116W or SiWx917 device that has previously bonded with a legitimate peer (e.g., a mobile app, sensor, or controller). The attacker uses a BLE sniffer to capture or enumerate the bonded peer's device address, then configures a rogue BLE adapter to spoof that address and initiates a re-pairing request. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to WiseConnect SDK 4.1.0 or later for the SiWx917 platform, or to WiseConnect SDK 2.14.0 or later for RS9116W deployments, as documented in vendor release notes at https://docs.silabs.com/sisdk-release-notes/latest/sisdk-wifi-release-notes/sisdk-wifible-ble-release-notes and https://docs.silabs.com/rs9116-wiseconnect/latest/wifibt-wc-release-notes/rs9116-ble-release-notes#bug-fixes. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
