CVE-2023-49914 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. InteraXon Muse 2 devices allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect Muse App report of an outstanding, calm meditation state) via a 480 MHz RF carrier that is modulated by a "false" brain wave, aka a Brain-Hack attack. For example, the Muse App does not display the reception of a strong RF carrier, and alert the user that a report may be misleading if this carrier has been modulated by a low-frequency signal.. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
