It has been reported that various Bluetooth enabled devices may fail to fully remove previously trusted relationships with other devices. Specifically, the trust of a previously paired device may not be discarded even when the device is no longer in the list of paired devices. As a result, a now potentially untrusted device may be capable of carrying out trusted actions on an unsuspecting users device. This action would go unnoticed, unless the victim user was physically monitoring the display on their device.
