The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a software-only Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) emulator for Trezor hardware wallets. It is a testing/development feature that lets a desktop emulator simulate BLE connections over local UDP network sockets. It does not change real hardware behavior and is not a security fix or a disclosed vulnerability. The main risk is that any emulator-only code could, in theory, contain bugs that affect testing environments, but there is no direct evidence this introduces an exploitable flaw in production devices.

Recommended action

No immediate action required for production security. If reviewing for test-harness hardening, consider adding input validation for received UDP packets, binding only to loopback unless explicitly configured otherwise, and documenting that the emulator BLE channel is unauthenticated and should not be exposed to untrusted networks.

Security signals we found

01

New network-facing code in emulator build only (UDP sockets bound to loopback by default, configurable via TREZOR_UDP_IP)

02

Pairing code is explicitly ignored in emulated ble_allow_pairing (documented as NOTE: pairing code ignored)

03

No input length validation on received ble_event_t beyond a simple size check

04

No authentication or encryption on the UDP control/data channels

05

Code is not present in production hardware builds
