Am I correct that this would allow someone to remotely attack everything on my network, even non-ESP devices? So, my ESP lightbulb is putting my PC and phone at risk?
That's sort of true of all exploits. It needs someone in Bluetooth range to hack the esp32 at which point the esp32 could become a jump point for anything. Mind you any bad app on your phone could also be used to attack your PC. But if something is in Bluetooth range, they could just attempt to attack your phone/PC directly.
Technology is so fun... Thanks for putting this in perspective!
