Apache Software Foundation Nimble vulnerabilities

CVE-2026-46452 Medium · 5.3 CWE-20 Jul 24, 2026

Apache NimBLE: Mesh Proxy SAR reassembly unbounded append and unchecked failure

Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache NimBLE in Mesh Proxy SAR reassembly could result in passing broken data toward application resulting in memory pressure and unstable parsing behavior. This issue affects Apache NimBLE: through 1.9.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.10.0, which fixes the issue.

CVE-2026-45816 High · 7.5 CWE-476 Jul 24, 2026

Apache NimBLE: NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in SMP LTK request

NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Apache NimBLE in LE Long Term Key Request event. This requires disabled asserts (otherwise assert would trigger before NULL dereference) and bogus (or misbehaving) controller, thus severity is low. This issue affects Apache NimBLE: through 1.9.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.10.0, which fixes the issue.

CVE-2026-45815 High · 7.5 CWE-617 Jul 24, 2026

Apache NimBLE: Remote reachable assertion in ATT Read Multiple Variable Response handler

Reachable Assertion vulnerability in Apache NimBLE. A specially crafted ATT Read Multiple Variable Response (BLE_ATT_OP_READ_MULT_VAR_RSP) may trigger assert in ATT parser. Severity is medium as this requires DUT to first send ATT Read Multiple Variable Request. This issue affects Apache NimBLE: through 1.9.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.10.0, which fixes the issue.

CVE-2026-45813 High · 8.8 CWE-191 Jul 24, 2026

Apache NimBLE: Incorrect data validation in BASS add/modify source operation

Out-of-bounds Write, Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound) vulnerability in Apache NimBLE BASS service. Improper validation when parsing BASS service "Add Source" and "Modify Source" operation PDU could results in stack buffer overflow or arbitrary out-of-bound read. This can be triggered by nearby devices over Bluetooth connection, however pairing is required prior to accessing BASS service, which depending on device configuration may or may not require user action. This issue affects Apache NimBLE: through 1.9.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.10.0, which fixes the issue.

CVE-2026-45812 Medium · 6.5 CWE-131 Jul 24, 2026

Apache NimBLE: OOB Read via sizeof(pointer) in Legacy Advertising Report Handler

Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size vulnerability in Apache NimBLE when processing Legacy Advertising Report HCI event. When a single HCI advertising report event bundles multiple reports, NimBLE miscalculated the offset to the next report. This can cause the host to read past the end of the buffer and deliver a GAP event with bogus data to the application. Severity is low: NimBLE's own controller never batches multiple reports into one event, so this only matters when NimBLE's host is paired with a third-party controller that does. This issue affects Apache NimBLE: through 1.9.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.10.0, which fixes the issue.

CVE-2026-45811 High · 7.5 CWE-120 Jul 24, 2026

Apache NimBLE: Buffer overflow in socket HCI transport

Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') vulnerability in Apache NimBLE. The HCI socket transport did not check whether a received HCI event would fit the configured event pool before copying it, allowing a buffer overflow. Severity is low: exploitation requires either a misconfigured pool size or a malicious/compromised controller on the other end of the HCI socket link, not over-the-air Bluetooth access. This issue affects Apache NimBLE: through 1.9.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.10.0, which fixes the issue.

CVE-2025-62235 High · 8.1 CWE-290 Jan 10, 2026

Apache Mynewt NimBLE: Incorrect handling of SMP Security Request could lead to undesirable pairing

Authentication Bypass by Spoofing vulnerability in Apache NimBLE. Receiving specially crafted Security Request could lead to removal of original bond and re-bond with impostor. This issue affects Apache NimBLE: through 1.8.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.9.0, which fixes the issue.

CVE-2025-53477 High · 7.5 CWE-476 Jan 10, 2026

Apache Mynewt NimBLE: NULL Pointer Dereference in NimBLE host HCI layer

NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Apache Nimble. Missing validation of HCI connection complete or HCI command TX buffer could lead to NULL pointer dereference. This issue requires disabled asserts and broken or bogus Bluetooth controller and thus severity is considered low. This issue affects Apache NimBLE: through 1.8.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.9.0, which fixes the issue.

CVE-2025-53470 Low · 3.1 CWE-125 Jan 10, 2026

Apache Mynewt NimBLE: Out-of-Bounds Write Vulnerability in NimBLE HCI H4 driver

Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Apache NimBLE HCI H4 driver. Specially crafted HCI event could lead to invalid memory read in H4 driver. This issue affects Apache NimBLE: through 1.8. This issue requires a broken or bogus Bluetooth controller and thus severity is considered low. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.9, which fixes the issue.

CVE-2025-52435 High · 7.5 CWE-5 Jan 10, 2026

Apache Mynewt NimBLE: Invalid error handling in pause encryption procedure in NimBLE controller

J2EE Misconfiguration: Data Transmission Without Encryption vulnerability in Apache NimBLE. Improper handling of Pause Encryption procedure on Link Layer results in a previously encrypted connection being left in un-encrypted state allowing an eavesdropper to observe the remainder of the exchange. This issue affects Apache NimBLE: through <= 1.8.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.9.0, which fixes the issue.
