Skullcandy Dime 3 earbuds expose users to Bluetooth hijacking

Carnegie Mellon University's CERT Coordination Center disclosed a Bluetooth vulnerability in Skullcandy Dime 3 earbuds that allows nearby unpaired devices to establish a connection without user confirmation. The flaw permits attackers to hijack the pairing process and potentially intercept audio or inject malicious commands.

Why it matters: Users of Skullcandy Dime 3 earbuds face immediate risk of eavesdropping or device compromise from nearby attackers; organizations should patch or replace affected units and review Bluetooth device procurement policies.
