Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.20% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs silabs.com EFR32 BLE SDK and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: As exposure requiresRemediation target: Within 365 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

01

What, why and how

A denial of service may be caused to a single peripheral device in a BLE network when multiple central devices continuously connect and disconnect to the peripheral. A hard reset is required to recover the peripheral device.

What

A denial of service may be caused to a single peripheral device in a BLE network when multiple central devices continuously connect and disconnect to the peripheral. A hard reset is required to recover the peripheral device.

Why

The product utilizes a shared resource in a concurrent manner, but it does not correctly synchronize access to the resource.

How

An attacker operating through an adjacent network may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may disrupt the affected service.

How

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path

CWE-821 ↗

CWE-821: Incorrect Synchronization. The product utilizes a shared resource in a concurrent manner, but it does not correctly synchronize access to the resource.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2024-0473Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Siemens producten

De kwetsbaarheden stellen een kwaadwillende mogelijk in staat aanvallen uit te voeren die kunnen leiden tot de volgende categorieën schade: - Denial-of-Service (DoS) - Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) - Manipulatie van gegevens - Omzeilen van een beveiligingsmaatregel - Omzeilen van authenticatie - (Remote) code execution (Administrator/Root rechten) - (Remote) code execution (Gebruikersrechten) - Toegang tot systeemgegevens - Verhoogde gebruikersrechten De kwaadwillende heeft hiervoor toegang nodig tot de productieomgeving. Het is goed gebruik een dergelijke omgeving niet publiek toegankelijk te hebben.
