Gaming soundbar can be hijacked from over 16 yards away
1 min read
Creative's Sound Blaster Katana V2X gaming soundbar can be hijacked over Bluetooth from 16 yards away without pairing or contact. An attacker can flash custom firmware, turning the device into a keyboard. Creative dismissed the flaw as not a security risk. The firmware lacks cryptographic signing, only using a SHA-256 checksum. The device communicates via a proprietary protocol over USB and Bluetooth Low Energy.
