CVE-2022-37193
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 · uneditedChipolo 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 confidenceThe 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.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Chipolo iOS app versionOpen the iOS Settings app, navigate to Apps > Chipolo (or find Chipolo in your app library), and check the version number displayed under the app nameAffected if The installed version equals 4.13.0 exactly
-
Confirm device sharing feature is activeOpen 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 accountsAffected if Device sharing is enabled and at least one other user has been granted access to the device
-
Inspect active sharee connectionsIn 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 presentAffected if There are active sharee accounts with access to your device
-
Test access revocation effectivenessAs 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 deviceAffected 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.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement 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.
