CVE-2020-12860
COVIDSafe through v1.0.17 allows a remote attacker to access phone name and model information because a BLE device can have four roles and COVIDSafe uses all of them.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.02%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
COVIDSafe through v1.0.17 allows a remote attacker to access phone name and model information because a BLE device can have four roles and COVIDSafe uses all of them. This allows for re-identification of a device, and potentially identification of the owner's name.
