Descriptions

Legacy pairing and secure-connections pairing authentication in Bluetooth BR/EDR Core Specification v5.2 and earlier may allow an unauthenticated user to complete authentication without pairing credentials via adjacent access. An unauthenticated, adjacent attacker could impersonate a Bluetooth BR/EDR master or slave to pair with a previously paired remote device to successfully complete the authentication procedure without knowing the link key.

El emparejamiento heredado y la identificación de emparejamiento de conexiones seguras en Bluetooth BR / EDR Core Specification v5.2 y anteriores pueden permitir que un usuario no identificado complete la autenticación sin emparejar credenciales a través de acceso adyacente. Un atacante adyacente no autenticado podría hacerse pasar por un maestro o esclavo Bluetooth BR / EDR para emparejarse con un dispositivo remoto previamente emparejado para completar con éxito el procedimiento de autenticación sin conocer la clave de enlace
