Description
Researchers have demonstrated remotely controlling a wheelchair over Bluetooth. CISA has issued an advisory.
> CISA said the WHILL wheelchairs did not enforce authentication for Bluetooth connections, allowing an attacker who is in Bluetooth range of the targeted device to pair with it. The attacker could then control the wheelchair's movements, override speed restrictions, and manipulate configuration profiles, all without requiring credentials or user interaction.
