Document Summary
The article discusses vulnerabilities in Bluetooth chipsets affecting over two dozen audio devices from ten vendors, including Beyerdynamic, Bose, Sony, and others. These flaws can be exploited for eavesdropping and data theft. Researchers at ERNW disclosed three vulnerabilities in Airoha SoCs used in TWS earbuds, identified as CVE-2025-20700, CVE-2025-20701, and CVE-2025-20702. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to hijack connections, extract call history, and potentially rewrite firmware for remote code execution. The attacks require close proximity and high technical skill, targeting high-value individuals. Airoha has released an updated SDK, but many devices remain unpatched.
