Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as an improper access control issue (CWE-284) with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 3.3 LOW (Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). The vulnerability exists in the updateLastConnectedClientInfo function of SemWifiApClient component, which fails to properly restrict access to wifi access point client MAC addresses (Samsung Mobile).
