An unencrypted 'pause encryption request' message causes a denial of service in the BT122 module. See vulnerability B-E10 in the related paper below.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in the Silicon Labs BT122 Bluetooth module is triggered by an adjacent unauthenticated attacker who transmits a forged, unencrypted 'pause encryption request' control message, causing the module to crash or become unresponsive. The flaw, cataloged as vulnerability B-E10 in academic research (arXiv:2409.02905), exploits the module's failure to enforce encryption state validation on incoming link-layer control messages. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must be within Bluetooth Classic radio range of the target device - typically 10 to 100 meters depending on antenna class. … 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:H) signals a low-complexity, unauthenticated attack confined to Bluetooth radio adjacency (typically 10-100 meters), with no confidentiality or integrity impact - purely a high-severity availability concern. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker within Bluetooth radio range (approximately 10-100 meters) of a device incorporating the BT122 module crafts and transmits a raw, unencrypted 'pause encryption request' Bluetooth Classic link management message. The BT122 module, failing to validate that such a request should only arrive within an encrypted session, processes the message and enters an unexpected state, causing the module - and any dependent device functionality - to become unresponsive. … |
| Remediation | No patch version has been confirmed in the available data; the vendor advisory at https://community.silabs.com/068Vm00000x0Yqy should be consulted for current fix availability and firmware update instructions. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
