Excerpt From Bluetooth Vulnerabilities (Part 2) Webinar
Watch This Brief Video to Learn More About Bluetooth Keystroke Injections
A recent fundamental vulnerability in Bluetooth Classic illustrates how a device impersonating a HID device could request to pair with a host over Bluetooth Classic without bonding, evading the need for user notification and approval. In order to prevent unwanted access to keystrokes, this enabled unauthenticated connections or attempts to pair without encryption. Patches for Linux, Windows, and Android devices have been made available, however as of January, Apple products added extra protection by filtering based on trusted Bluetooth addresses. It was found that impersonating trusted device addresses continued to grant access to Mac OS computers, highlighting how crucial it is to maintain devices updated with the most recent security patches to reduce security concerns.
