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
Fire-Boltt Smartwatch FB BGS001 Firmware: MOY-JS14-2.0.4 is vulnerable to Improper Authentication, The device accepts GATT Write Request commands without sufficient authentication or strong session validation. Under specific conditions, previously captured BLE packets can be replayed from a nearby device to trigger functionality on the smartwatch.

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 Smartwatch FB BGS001 firmware MOY-JS14-2.0.4 accepts BLE GATT Write Request commands without sufficient authentication or strong session validation. Attackers can capture and replay BLE packets from a nearby device to trigger unauthorized functionality on the smartwatch, due to missing replay attack protections and weak session management in the BLE GATT implementation.

MitigationImplement cryptographic session validation (e.g., token/nonce-based challenge-response), add sequence numbers to prevent replay attacks, require user confirmation for sensitive BLE commands, and enforce authentication before accepting GATT write 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. Identify device model and firmware version
    Connect to the Fire-Boltt Smartwatch FB BGS001 via Bluetooth and read the device information service (DIS) or check the watch settings under About > Version to confirm the firmware is MOY-JS14-2.0.4
    Affected if The device is a Fire-Boltt FB BGS001 running firmware version MOY-JS14-2.0.4
  2. Enumerate BLE GATT services
    Use a BLE debugging tool (such as nRF Connect, BLE Scanner, or gatttool) to discover all GATT services and characteristics exposed by the smartwatch
    Affected if The device exposes BLE GATT services and characteristics without requiring authentication to access them
  3. Test BLE GATT Write Request without authentication
    Send a BLE GATT Write Request to a writable characteristic (such as those controlling notifications, alerts, or settings) using a BLE tool WITHOUT establishing any authenticated session or pairing
    Affected if The smartwatch accepts and processes BLE GATT Write Requests without requiring authentication, pairing, or any prior session establishment
  4. Verify replay attack protection
    Capture a BLE GATT Write Request packet, then attempt to replay the exact same packet to the device at a later time using a BLE tool; observe if the device accepts and executes the replayed command
    Affected if The device accepts and processes replayed BLE GATT Write Requests, indicating missing sequence numbers, nonces, or other replay attack protections
  5. Check session validation mechanisms
    Examine the BLE GATT communication for session tokens, challenge-response mechanisms, or sequence counters by analyzing the characteristic values or using a BLE sniffer to inspect packet structure
    Affected if The BLE GATT implementation lacks cryptographic session validation, challenge-response authentication, or sequence numbers in its write operations

The environment is affected if it contains a Fire-Boltt Smartwatch FB BGS001 running firmware MOY-JS14-2.0.4 where BLE GATT Write Requests can be sent and executed without authentication and replayed packets are accepted.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Implement cryptographic session validation (e.g., token/nonce-based challenge-response), add sequence numbers to prevent replay attacks, require user confirmation for sensitive BLE commands, and enforce authentication before accepting GATT write operations.
