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
Insecure permissions in the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) component of Fire-Boltt Artillery Smart Watch NJ-R6E-10.3 allow attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).

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 Fire-Boltt Artillery Smart Watch NJ-R6E-10.3 contains insecure permission configurations in its BLE stack that allow unauthorized attackers to trigger a Denial of Service condition, likely through malformed BLE connection requests or permission bypass enabling disruptive operations.

MitigationApply any available firmware update from the vendor that addresses BLE permission controls; if no update exists, restrict BLE proximity or disable BLE when not in use.

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. Confirm device model
    Identify the exact smart watch model number. Check device packaging, settings menu, or system information for the model identifier NJ-R6E-10.3 or confirm it is a Fire-Boltt Artillery Smart Watch.
    Affected if The device model matches Fire-Boltt Artillery Smart Watch NJ-R6E-10.3 exactly.
  2. Verify BLE is enabled
    Access the watch settings and check if Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is turned on. Look for Bluetooth or wireless connectivity settings on the device.
    Affected if BLE is currently enabled on the device.
  3. Inspect BLE permission settings
    Navigate to the watch Bluetooth settings or paired devices menu. Look for any permission, authorization, or connection settings related to BLE pairing, visibility, or connection requests.
    Affected if BLE permissions are set to allow unauthenticated connections or there are no visible authorization controls on BLE connections.
  4. Check firmware version
    In the watch settings, look for a firmware or software version entry, typically under 'About Device', 'System', or 'Device Info' sections. Record the exact version string if present.
    Affected if The firmware version is available and differs from any vendor-provided patched version, or no version information is displayed.

You are likely affected if you own the Fire-Boltt Artillery Smart Watch NJ-R6E-10.3 and have BLE enabled, as the vulnerability resides in the BLE stack permission configuration of this specific device model.
