Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Chipolo ONE Bluetooth tracker (2020) Chipolo iOS app version 4.13.0 is vulnerable to Incorrect Access Control. Chipolo devices suffer from access revocation evasion attacks once the malicious sharee obtains the access credentials.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The Chipolo ONE Bluetooth tracker and iOS app version 4.13.0 have an Incorrect Access Control vulnerability in the device sharing mechanism. A malicious sharee who has obtained access credentials can evade access revocation, allowing them to maintain unauthorized access to the device even after the owner attempts to revoke their access rights.

MitigationImplement proper authorization validation on the backend to enforce access revocation immediately and invalidate all active sessions/tokens when sharing permissions are revoked. Additionally, implement server-side validation that checks current permission status before allowing any device operations.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Chipolo iOS app version
    Open the iOS Settings app, navigate to Apps > Chipolo (or find Chipolo in your app library), and check the version number displayed under the app name
    Affected if The installed version equals 4.13.0 exactly
  2. Confirm device sharing feature is active
    Open the Chipolo app, locate the device sharing or sharing settings menu, and check if any devices are currently shared with other users or if sharing permissions are granted to other accounts
    Affected if Device sharing is enabled and at least one other user has been granted access to the device
  3. Inspect active sharee connections
    In the Chipolo app sharing management screen, review the list of users who have been given access to your device; note whether any sharee accounts are present
    Affected if There are active sharee accounts with access to your device
  4. Test access revocation effectiveness
    As the device owner, use the app to revoke access for a known sharee, then attempt to verify whether that sharee can still perform operations or receive location updates from the device
    Affected if After revocation, the former sharee can still access device functionality or receive updates

You are affected if the Chipolo iOS app version is exactly 4.13.0 AND device sharing is active with at least one sharee, particularly if revoked access persists.
