Audit a Bluetooth Low Energy device for missing authorization on its GATT attributes: a characteristic performing a sensitive action or revealing sensitive data readable or writable by any peer, pairing or bonding that is not required or falls back to an unauthenticated Just Works mode with no link encryption, an authorization decision the device pushes to the mobile app instead of enforcing on the peripheral, and a replayable command a sniffer can capture and resend. Covers BLE peripherals…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Auditing BLE and GATT authorization: the peripheral must enforce access, not the app

A Bluetooth Low Energy peripheral exposes its functionality as GATT characteristics that any peer in radio
range can attempt to connect to and read or write, and the security question is entirely on the peripheral:
does it enforce who may touch each characteristic, or does it assume the only client is its own trusted mobile
app. The common failure is trusting the app. The app shows a login and a permission model, but the peripheral
itself accepts reads and writes from any connected peer, so a peer that skips the app and talks to the GATT
server directly performs the sensitive action, unlocking, dumping data, changing a setting, with no check.
Pairing and bonding, which establish link encryption and a persistent trust relationship, are frequently not
required, or fall back to the unauthenticated Just Works association that gives encryption without
authenticating who is on the other end, so a sniffer or a man in the middle reads the traffic. And commands
sent without authentication can be captured over the air and replayed. The audit connects to the peripheral as

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/auditing-ble-and-gatt-authorization@sha256:0588ed088619ab31

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.f8395d1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
