High CVSS 8.1

CVE-2026-18164

NVD analysis in progress

An undocumented hard-coded credential, shared by all device units, is authorized to bypass authentication. This allows an attacker within Bluetooth range to arbitrarily manipulate brain stimulation parameters and state.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable from the adjacent network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
Credentials are hard-coded in the product and identical across every installation.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle.

Read automatically from the CVSS vector, the weakness type (CWE) and the EPSS score. The technical description above remains the one published by NIST.
