Addressing WhisperPair | Google Fast Pair Security Vulnerability
Security Notice: Google Fast Pair (WhisperPair)
We are aware of recent security research describing a Bluetooth vulnerability known as WhisperPair, which affects some devices that support Google Fast Pair.
This is an industry-wide issue impacting multiple manufacturers.
What does this mean?
Under certain conditions and within close physical range, the vulnerability could allow a malicious actor to:
- Listen through a device’s microphone
- Inject audio into the device
- Track device location via Bluetooth signals
What we’re doing
- We are actively developing a firmware update to mitigate this vulnerability across all affected models.
- The update will be released through a normal firmware update via the JLab App.
What you should do
- Keep your device firmware up to date when updates become available.
- If an update is still pending based on the table below, no immediate action is required. Please contact our support team regarding the model in question, and we will inform you when the update is available. You can continue to check the JLab App for the upcoming FW update as well.
We take security seriously and are working through these updates as quickly as possible. If you have questions, our support team is available to assist.
New Models
With our newer models that we recently released, WhisperPair security vulnerabilities were already addressed. Below is a list of model that already have FW that address these security concerns, and therefore are unaffected:
- Epic Pods ANC
- JBuds Open Headphone
Discontinued Models
