⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could intercept sensitive Wi-Fi communications, access network credentials, or monitor device traffic without authorization.
Likely Case
Local attackers with physical or network proximity could potentially access limited device information or perform reconnaissance.
If Mitigated
With proper network segmentation and access controls, impact would be limited to isolated network segments.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation likely requires some level of network access and technical knowledge of Wi-Fi protocols
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
