DescriptionCVE.org

The BT122 module stops advertising after receiving a plaintext 'pause enceryption response' message resulting in a denial of service. See vulnerability B-E2 in the related paper below.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in the Silicon Labs BT122 Bluetooth module allows any adjacent attacker to permanently stop the module from advertising by sending a single plaintext 'pause encryption response' message. Documented as vulnerability B-E2 in an academic Bluetooth security paper (arXiv:2409.02905), this flaw causes the device to cease Bluetooth advertising without validation of whether the control message was delivered over an encrypted channel. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Enter Bluetooth radio range
Delivery
Craft plaintext pause encryption response LMP message
Exploit
Transmit message to BT122 module
Execution
Module accepts unauthenticated plaintext control message
Persist
Module halts Bluetooth advertising
Impact
Device unreachable until power-cycled

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must be within Bluetooth radio range (typically up to 10-100 meters depending on module class and environment) - this is a hard physical prerequisite that cannot be bypassed remotely. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VA:L) places the attack in adjacent-network scope - the attacker must be within Bluetooth radio range, which substantially constrains real-world exposure compared to a network-reachable vulnerability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker within Bluetooth radio range of a deployed BT122 module crafts and transmits a plaintext 'pause encryption response' LMP message targeted at the module. Upon receipt, the module halts Bluetooth advertising without verifying encryption state, rendering it unreachable to legitimate paired devices or controllers until power-cycled. …
Remediation Consult the Silicon Labs community advisory at https://community.silabs.com/068Vm00000x0Yqy for firmware updates addressing this flaw; the provided data does not confirm an exact patched firmware version, so the advisory must be checked directly. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
