Misleading. When trying to connect to a device, an attacker can spoof being said device to get the airpods to connect to them instead. Similar to SSID spoofing with Wi-Fi.

Nothing in the linked article indicates this allows eavesdropping on existing connections.

Really misleading title. It was patched. It should say allowed. You can still edit the post to fix this OP
