I think the attack is:

- mass record all these requests

- offline, recover the phone numbers or email addresses

⇒ you know who was where, when.

That attack doesn't fit this vulnerability.

The target has to open the sharing pane on their phone while the attacker is in proximity.

That probably effectively stops "mass" attacks.
