CVE-2022-25836 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting Bluetooth Core Specification versions 4.0 through 5.3. It allows an unauthenticated attacker, with adjacent access, to perform a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack during Bluetooth Low Energy pairing. By manipulating pairing methods and brute-forcing the user-entered passkey, the attacker can acquire credentials and complete authentication with the responder. This attack has high impact on confidentiality and integrity, but requires user interaction and high attack complexity. Currently, there is no known active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
