AI Analysis

Impact

An attacker who is within Bluetooth range of a Sooma 2GEN brain stimulator can change stimulation parameters without authentication. This flaw allows a local adversary to alter therapy settings during use, potentially causing harm or ineffective treatment. The weakness is classified as CWE-924, representing improper control of channel or protocol execution, which permits untrusted input to influence critical device behavior.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability applies to the Sooma tDCS Home Therapy brain stimulator produced by Sooma. No specific firmware or version numbers are listed in the publicly available data, so all current models may be affected until an official patch or update is released.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation in the wild. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because authentication is lacking, the attack vector is local Bluetooth; any unauthorized user within range can trigger parameter changes. The mitigations rely on vendor firmware updates or disabling Bluetooth functionality to prevent exploitation.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest firmware update that addresses the Bluetooth control flaw if available.
  • Physically secure the stimulator by limiting exposure to unauthorized Bluetooth access—place the device in a controlled environment or disable the radio when not in use.
  • Regularly audit and log stimulation settings to detect and respond to any unauthorized changes promptly.
