AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Adjacent BLE vector with no authentication required; re-pairing downgrade is protocol-level and low-complexity; full C/I/A impact follows from LTK recovery enabling decryption and command injection.
Primary rating from Vendor (Silabs).

Re-pairing with a legitimate device can use a lower security level than previous making brute-forcing the LTK easier. See V4 in the BLERP paper linked below.
AnalysisAI
Security level downgrade during Bluetooth Low Energy re-pairing in Silicon Labs WiseConnect exposes the Long Term Key (LTK) to practical brute-force attack by an adjacent unauthenticated attacker. Devices running WiseConnect 4.0.0 through 4.0.x and WiseConnect 2.0.0 through 2.13.x accept re-pairing negotiations at weaker security parameters than originally established, reducing LTK entropy and enabling offline key recovery. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must be within BLE radio range of the target device (physically co-located, typically within 10-100 meters). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS 8.8 reflects a technically sound assessment: adjacent network vector with no authentication or user interaction required, and full C/I/A impact upon LTK recovery. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker within BLE radio range of a vulnerable WiseConnect device jams or spoofs the existing bonded peer to force bond loss and initiate re-pairing, causing the device to accept new pairing parameters at a weaker security level than the original session. The attacker captures the re-pairing handshake, then brute-forces the lower-entropy LTK offline - feasible because the reduced key space makes exhaustive search tractable with modest computing resources. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to upgrade WiseConnect 4.x deployments to version 4.1.0 or later, and WiseConnect 2.x deployments to version 2.14.0 or later; fix details are documented in the SISDK release notes at https://docs.silabs.com/sisdk-release-notes/latest/sisdk-wifi-release-notes/sisdk-wifible-ble-release-notes and the RS9116 release notes at https://docs.silabs.com/rs9116-wiseconnect/latest/wifibt-wc-release-notes/rs9116-ble-release-notes#bug-fixes, with the community advisory at https://community.silabs.com/068Vm00000x0yyH providing platform-specific guidance. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, conduct an inventory of all systems and devices running Silicon Labs WiseConnect to identify those on affected versions (2.0.0 through 2.13.x or 4.0.0 through 4.0.x). …
