Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization due to improper enforcement of security permissions in the gatt_notify and gatt_indicate functions. An attacker can access protected characteristic values by connecting to the device and enabling notifications or indications without meeting the required encryption or authentication level. This is only exploitable if the application declares notify/indicate characteristics that require encryption or authentication, and the Client Characteristic Configuration descriptor is writable at a lower security tier.
