Sony, JBL, Marshall speakers and headphones at risk of being hacked

A vulnerability in Airoha's Bluetooth chip allows a series of popular headphones and speakers such as Sony WH-1000XM, JBL, and Marshall to be remotely controlled.

According to information from the German cybersecurity company Ernw, a serious vulnerability has just been discovered in Bluetooth chips manufactured by Airoha (Taiwan).

Devices using this chip include products from Sony, JBL, Marshall, Bose, Jabra, Beyerdynamic, and many other major brands.

Hackers can penetrate devices within 10m radius without pairing or authentication.

They have the ability to read, write data, and control devices remotely, posing a serious security risk.

In testing, hackers were able to take control of the headset and spoof it to control the smartphone.

The risk of attack for ordinary users is low, but is of concern to journalists, leaders and diplomats .

Airoha has released a software development kit (SDK) with the patch for manufacturers, but updates are up to each manufacturer.

Users should regularly check for firmware updates to ensure device security.
