High CVSS 8.1

CVE-2026-18844

NVD analysis in progress

The firmware of the Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulator accepts several undisclosed commands over its Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface. These commands are sent without authentication or encryption, and are never issued by the companion mobile application, yet are fully processed by the device when it is powered on.

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.
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.
