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.
