BPL Personal Weighing Scale PWS-01BT IND/09/18/599 devices transmit sensitive information over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) without encryption. The BLE packets also lack authentication and integrity protection, making the data susceptible to interception and manipulation by nearby attackers.

This repository demonstrates a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-34463, targeting the BPL Smart Weighing Scale PWS-01-BT. The exploit leverages insufficient security in the device's Bluetooth LE communication, allowing an attacker within range to intercept and decode sensitive data (such as weight readings) broadcasted by the scale. The repository contains a C program (scanner.c) that scans for BLE advertisements and prints out the raw data, and a Python script (run.py) that parses this data to extract and display the weight. The README provides setup and usage instructions. No authentication or pairing is required to obtain the data, highlighting the privacy risk. The exploit is a proof-of-concept and does not weaponize the vulnerability beyond data extraction.
