CVE-2020-26560 Details
Description
Bluetooth Mesh Provisioning in the Bluetooth Mesh profile 1.0 and 1.0.1 may permit a nearby device, reflecting the authentication evidence from a Provisioner, to complete authentication without possessing the AuthValue, and potentially acquire a NetKey and AppKey.
A vulnerability in Bluetooth Mesh Provisioning, present in versions 1.0 and 1.0.1 of the Bluetooth Mesh profile, may allow a nearby device to impersonate a legitimate one. This is achieved by reflecting authentication evidence from a Provisioner to complete the authentication process without having the required AuthValue. Consequently, the attacker could obtain a NetKey and potentially an AppKey.
Bluetooth SIG recommends that vulnerable mesh provisioners restrict the authentication process by not accepting provisioning random and confirmation numbers from a remote peer that match those chosen by the local device.
