Device spoofing via undisclosed Bluetooth authentication flaw
Published Jan 9, 2024 · Updated May 3, 2025
Bluetooth spoofing in Microsoft Windows Bluetooth Driver allows physically proximate attackers to impersonate a device with user interaction. Microsoft has not published the affected driver routine or the unauthenticated operation it performs on Bluetooth input. Exploitation requires Bluetooth proximity and user interaction and permits identity spoofing without reported data disclosure or service interruption.
