CVE-2026-0842 is a missing authentication flaw in the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface of Flycatcher Toys smART Sketcher devices up to version 2.0. An attacker within local network range/proximity can interact with an affected, unspecified portion of the BLE interface without required authentication, enabling unauthorized access to BLE-exposed functionality. Public exploit code is reported to be available; the vendor did not respond to disclosure per the advisory.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2026-0842, targeting the smART Sketcher 2.0 projector's Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface. The exploit leverages the device's lack of authentication on its BLE service, allowing any user within range to connect and upload arbitrary images without pairing or notification. The repository consists of a README.md describing the vulnerability and usage, and a Python script (smartsketch-upload.py) that scans for the device, connects via BLE, converts a user-supplied image to the device's required RGB565 format, and uploads it in chunks using specific BLE service and characteristic UUIDs. The exploit is operational, requiring only proximity to the device and a compatible image file. No detection or fake exploit indicators are present.
