DescriptionCVE.org

Passkey entry Bluetooth LE legacy pairing can be bypassed in the RS9116W and SiWx917 by manipulating the temporary key value. See vulnerability B-E3 in the related paper below.

AnalysisAI

Bluetooth LE legacy pairing authentication in Silicon Labs RS9116W and SiWx917 wireless modules (WiseConnect SDK) can be bypassed by manipulating the Temporary Key (TK) value during Passkey Entry association, allowing an adjacent unauthenticated attacker to pair with the target device without possessing the correct passkey. Successful exploitation yields high confidentiality and integrity impact on the vulnerable system. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Position within Bluetooth radio range
Delivery
Initiate BLE legacy Passkey Entry pairing request
Exploit
Intercept pairing handshake and manipulate TK value
Execution
Forge valid Confirm values
Persist
Bypass authentication and complete pairing
Impact
Access protected BLE GATT services on target device

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation BLE legacy pairing (not BLE Secure Connections) must be enabled and active on the target RS9116W or SiWx917 device, and the Passkey Entry association model must be in use for the targeted pairing session. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.6 reflects meaningful but proximity-constrained risk: AV:A (Bluetooth adjacency, typically 10-100 m) limits mass internet-scale exploitation, while PR:N and UI:N mean no credentials or victim interaction are needed once within range. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker carrying a Bluetooth-capable device (laptop or embedded radio) positions themselves within Bluetooth range of a deployed RS9116W or SiWx917 device. The attacker initiates a BLE pairing request using Passkey Entry and, during the Confirm/Random exchange, manipulates the TK value to forge valid confirm values - bypassing the authentication check and completing pairing without knowing the actual passkey. …
Remediation Consult the Silicon Labs security advisory at https://community.silabs.com/068Vm00000x0Yqy for patched WiseConnect SDK versions and apply the vendor-supplied update as the primary fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all devices using Silicon Labs RS9116W or SiWx917 modules and determine WiseConnect SDK versions deployed. …
