CVE-2024-34730
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 · uneditedIn multiple locations, there is a possible bypass of user consent to enabling new Bluetooth HIDs due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
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 · high confidenceThis is a logic error vulnerability in Android's Bluetooth stack that allows new HID (Human Interface Device) devices to be paired without user consent. The flaw exists in multiple locations where consent validation should occur but is bypassed, enabling local privilege escalation to pair malicious Bluetooth devices (keyboards, mice, etc.) without the user's knowledge or approval.

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.
-
Check Android versionNavigate to Settings > About Phone > Version Number, or run 'getprop ro.build.version.release' via ADBAffected if Version is 12.0, 12.1, 13.0, or 14.0
-
Verify Bluetooth is enabledCheck Settings > Bluetooth toggle, or run 'settings get global bluetooth_on' via ADBAffected if Bluetooth is turned on (value is 1)
-
Review paired HID devicesGo to Settings > Bluetooth > Paired devices list, identify any keyboards, mice, gamepads, or other HID input devicesAffected if Any unknown or unexpected HID devices are present in the paired devices list
-
Inspect Bluetooth pairing logsRun 'adb logcat -d | grep -iE "(pairing|HID|bluetooth)"' or examine /data/misc/bluetooth/logs/ for pairing event entriesAffected if Pairing events exist for HID devices without corresponding user consent confirmation in the logs
If the device runs Android 12.0-14.0 with Bluetooth enabled and has unknown paired HID devices or pairing logs showing consent bypass, the device is likely affected by this vulnerability.

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 dataApply the vendor-supplied security patch for CVE-2024-34730 to address the logic error in Bluetooth HID pairing consent checks. Ensure all code paths that handle new device pairing properly enforce user consent validation.
