WiFiMonitor in Android 4.4.4 as used in the Nexus 5 and 4, Android 4.2.2 as used in the LG D806, Android 4.2.2 as used in the Samsung SM-T310, Android 4.1.2 as used in the Motorola RAZR HD, and potentially other unspecified Android releases before 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 does not properly handle exceptions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reboot) via a crafted 802.11 probe response frame.

CVSS

Base score: 7.5
Version: 3.0
Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 6.40 %
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 94
Score date: 10/20/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
