New Wi-Fi Vulnerabilities Expose Android and Linux Devices to Hackers

Researchers disclosed two Wi‑Fi authentication‑bypass vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-52160 affecting wpa_supplicant and CVE-2023-52161 affecting IWD) that can enable attackers to impersonate trusted SSIDs or join protected networks without a password, allowing traffic interception and unauthorized access; major Linux distributions and ChromeOS have advisories/patches while Android users must take manual mitigations until OEM updates are available.
