CVE-2021-31786 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.5) affecting ats2819p firmware, ats2815 firmware, ats2819 firmware. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

The Bluetooth Classic Audio implementation on Actions ATS2815 and ATS2819 devices does not properly handle a connection attempt from a host with the same BDAddress as the current connected BT host, allowing attackers to trigger a disconnection and deadlock of the device by connecting with a forged BDAddress that matches the original connected host.
