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
A security vulnerability has been detected in OmniPEMF NeoRhythm up to 20260308. This affects an unknown function of the component BLE Interface. Such manipulation leads to missing authentication. The attack can only be initiated within the local network. This attack is characterized by high complexity. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

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

Missing authentication in the BLE interface of OmniPEMF NeoRhythm devices (up to 20260308) allows unauthenticated attackers within the local network to interact with the BLE component. The attack requires high complexity and is difficult to exploit, but requires no credentials.

MitigationIsolate NeoRhythm devices on a dedicated network segment with strict ACLs; monitor BLE traffic for unauthorized access attempts; contact vendor through alternative channels or evaluate device replacement given lack of vendor response.

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. Identify OmniPEMF NeoRhythm devices on the network
    Scan the local network for devices advertising the service name 'NeoRhythm' or vendor UUID 0xFE9F (BLE GATT service). Use tools like 'hcitool lescan' or BLE scanner apps to enumerate BLE peripherals.
    Affected if A device responding to BLE queries with NeoRhythm branding or matching UUID is found on the network.
  2. Verify BLE interface is enabled and accessible
    Attempt a BLE connection to the device using tools like 'gatttool' or 'bleah' with the device MAC address. Test if read/write operations are possible without pairing or authentication.
    Affected if BLE connection succeeds and GATT characteristics are readable or writable without requiring PIN, passkey, or bond creation.
  3. Determine firmware version
    Connect via BLE and read the device information service (GATT 0x180A) to obtain the firmware version string. Alternatively, check the device management interface for a version field showing '20260308' or earlier.
    Affected if Firmware version is '20260308' or earlier, or the version field cannot be retrieved (indicating outdated firmware).
  4. Assess network exposure
    Review network segmentation and VLAN assignments. Determine if the device resides on the same broadcast domain as untrusted users or guest networks. Check firewall rules or ACLs controlling access to the device IP address.
    Affected if The device is reachable from network segments containing untrusted or unmanaged devices without intervening access controls.

A defender is affected if a NeoRhythm device with accessible BLE interface and firmware version 20260308 or earlier is present on a network segment accessible to untrusted actors.
