VU#859658: Skullcandy Dime 3 wireless earbuds contain an unauthenticated Bluetooth pairing vulnerability
Skullcandy Dime 3 earbuds (CVE-2025-20701) accept Bluetooth pairings without owner consent, letting in-range attackers hijack audio or capture microphone; no firmware update path exists.
CERT/CC's VU#859658 describes CVE-2025-20701 in the Airoha Bluetooth audio SDK, present in Skullcandy Dime 3 (Model S2DCW) firmware 1.0.0.28. A direct Bluetooth Classic pairing request with no PIN or physical confirmation completes via NoInputNoOutput, adding the attacker's device as trusted. Attackers in radio range can hijack the A2DP audio session, access the Hands-Free/Headset profile, and capture live microphone audio. Firmware 1.0.0.30 contains the effective patch, but Skullcandy says the Dime 3 does not support app-based firmware updates, leaving existing units unpatchable.
Skullcandy Dime 3 earbuds expose users to Bluetooth hijacking
CERT/CC warns Skullcandy Dime 3 earbuds accept silent Bluetooth pairings via CVE-2025-20701, letting nearby attackers hijack audio and microphone.
CERT/CC reports the Skullcandy Dime 3 (model S2DCW) running firmware 1.0.0.28 is affected by CVE-2025-20701, a high-severity missing-authentication flaw in the Airoha Bluetooth Audio SDK. An attacker in close range can pair without user interaction, then hijack audio playback, access the headset profile, and capture live microphone audio. Skullcandy fixed the issue in firmware 1.0.0.30, but existing units have no consumer-accessible update path via the app. The flaw was discovered by ERNW researchers and affects earbud and headphone products from multiple vendors; Apple patched it for Beats Studio Buds in June.
Two Unitree G1 EDU Humanoid Robot Flaws Enable Root RCE, One Starts Over Bluetooth
Researcher disclosed two root RCE chains in Unitree G1 EDU robots (CVE-2026-76639, CVE-2026-76640), one reachable via unpaired Bluetooth, with no confirmed fixed firmware.
Security researcher Olivier Laflamme disclosed two independent root remote code execution chains in the Unitree G1 EDU robot: CVE-2026-76639, a network-adjacent path through chat_go and bashrunner, and CVE-2026-76640, a Bluetooth Low Energy path that ends with a 1,050-byte buffer overflow in btgatt-server giving root on the Locomotion PC. The BLE chain also exploits a cloud authorization gap that let any valid Unitree account recover another robot's AES key, then forces the robot onto an attacker hotspot via wpa_connect.sh heredoc injection. Unitree patched the cloud ownership check in July 2026, but no confirmed fixed firmware release addresses the BLE issues; the PoC was limited to two robots in one room and no in-the-wild exploitation is reported.
