Technical details

A logic issue in CoreUtils fails to properly manage state when rate-limiting pairing code attempts over Bluetooth. An attacker within Bluetooth range can exhaust or bypass the rate limit mechanism and pair with a target device without requiring user confirmation, violating the intended pairing security model. The vulnerability affects iOS and iPadOS across multiple major versions.
