Security Advisory: Airoha-based Bluetooth Headphones and Earbuds (insinuator.net)

submitted 1 week ago by Branquinho@lemmy.eco.br to c/cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works

Security researchers found that probably millions of Bluetooth headphones are vulnerable to an attack that lets others read data from the headphones, including the pairing key material for the communication with a paired device, thus allowing to impersonate the headphones. As a result, one can use a spoofed connection to read contact data from phones, but also make phone calls or use Siri voice commands to let the phone execute actions.

There is currently no fix.
