Honeywell strongly recommends upgrading to the latest firmware versions identified to resolve this vulnerability. Since no explicit patch or remediation level is provided in the available data, users should consult Honeywell's official advisories or support channels for the latest updates and apply them promptly. Until patched, restricting Bluetooth access to trusted devices and minimizing Bluetooth exposure may reduce risk.
Description
CVE-2026-4272 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting certain Honeywell handheld barcode scanners. The issue involves missing authentication for critical functions, allowing a remote attacker within Bluetooth range of the scanner's base station to execute system commands on the host connected to that base station without authentication. Affected models include C1 Base (Ingenic x1000) before GK000432BAA, D1 Base (Ingenic x1600) before HE000085BAA, and A1/B1 Base (IMX25) before BK000763BAA_BK000765BAA_CU000101BAA. Honeywell strongly recommends upgrading to the latest versions to resolve this vulnerability.
