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.
VU#369093: MLflow dspy and statsmodels flavors bypass pickle deserialization control
CERT/CC warns MLflow's dspy and statsmodels flavors bypass the MLFLOW_ALLOW_PICKLE_DESERIALIZATION control, enabling remote code execution.
CERT/CC vulnerability note VU#369093 describes a flaw in MLflow 3.12.0 where the dspy flavor conditionally applies the pickle deserialization safety control based only on the model path's .pkl extension, while the statsmodels flavor skips the check entirely, permitting arbitrary code execution via malicious pickle payloads even when users disallow pickle. The statsmodels flavor is patched in versions 3.15.0 and later, but no dspy fix exists yet, so users should avoid loading models through that flavor. Exploitation requires write access to any location from which a user obtains MLflow models.
VU#718077: UEFI Shell module embedded in SPI Flash can be used to bypass Secure Boot
CERT/CC details VU#718077: UEFI Shell embedded in SPI flash lets attackers bypass Secure Boot and execute pre-boot code; patches issued.
CERT/CC's VU#718077, reported by Eclypsium researcher Stas Lyakhov, describes how a UEFI Shell embedded in SPI flash can be abused by attackers who can modify UEFI boot configuration, creating multiple boot entries that bypass controls preventing the Shell from launching under Secure Boot. The Shell's dmem and mm commands allow arbitrary physical memory read/write, letting attackers overwrite Secure Boot values and execute unauthorized pre-boot code that can persist across reboots and OS reinstalls while degrading EDR effectiveness. AMI confirmed its Aptio UEFI BDS module is affected (CVE-2026-33197), and Cisco published an advisory for a variation affecting UCS Servers and UCS-based appliances (CVE-2026-20293). Firmware patches are being rolled out through OEM and IBV BIOS build pipelines.
VU#728712: Konami's Metal Gear Online 3 contains a heap-based buffer overflow
CERT/CC details CVE-2026-19874, a heap overflow in Metal Gear Online 3 letting match hosts execute code on lobby members' machines.
VU#728712 describes a heap-based buffer overflow in Konami's Metal Gear Online 3, tracked as CVE-2026-19874, affecting version 1.1.2.8 (Steam AppID 287700). The input-validation flaw lies in processing Steam lobby metadata tied to the player-removal feature, letting a match host trigger remote code execution on lobby members' machines via specially crafted data. The game is an 8v8 competitive shooter using Steam Matchmaking for lobbies.
VU#756733: Calix GS7 XGS GS5239XG residential router contains missing authentication vulnerability
CERT/CC warns Calix GS7 XGS GS5239XG routers on firmware EXOS/6.6.47 expose an unauthenticated UPnP WANIPConnection service on the public WAN interface.
CERT/CC issued VU#756733 for a missing authentication vulnerability in the Calix GS7 XGS GS5239XG residential gateway running EXOS/6.6.47. The device's UPnP service, implemented with MiniUPnPd 2.3.7, is exposed on the WAN interface by default and does not require authentication, potentially letting remote attackers alter port mappings through the WANIPConnection service. The flaw affects routing, NAT, and firewall functionality for home networks.
VU#431093: TCG TPM 2.0 reference code found vulnerable to information leakage and timing side-channel attacks
CERT/CC discloses two TPM 2.0 reference code flaws allowing RSA key decryption and forged TPM attestations via crafted commands.
CERT/CC published VU#431093 covering two vulnerabilities in the TCG TPM 2.0 reference implementation: CVE-2026-6726 (information leakage via falsified TPM keys) and CVE-2026-6727 (timing side-channel in RSA OAEP decryption). An attacker with privileged access to a TPM command interface could send crafted TPM commands to decrypt ciphertexts for affected TPM-managed RSA keys, including the RSA Endorsement Key, or obtain credentials enabling forged TPM 2.0 attestations. Remediation is tracked in TCGVRT010 and TCGVRT0011.
Skullcandy Dime 3 Bluetooth Flaw Lets Nearby Attackers Hijack Audio and Spy Through Microphone
Skullcandy Dime 3 earbuds on firmware 1.0.0.28 accept unauthenticated Bluetooth pairing via Airoha SDK flaw CVE-2025-20701, enabling audio hijack and microphone capture.
CERT/CC vulnerability note VU#859658 describes insecure Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR) pairing on Skullcandy Dime 3 (model S2DCW) firmware 1.0.0.28, linked to CVE-2025-20701 in the Airoha Bluetooth audio SDK. The NoInputNoOutput I/O capability lets unknown nearby devices pair without pairing mode, PIN, passkey or user interaction, then bond and automatically reconnect. An attacker can hijack the A2DP audio session and access Hands-Free or Headset profiles to capture live microphone audio. Firmware 1.0.0.30 reportedly fixes the flaw, but the earbuds cannot be updated through the Skullcandy app, leaving current users without a consumer-accessible patch path.
