CVE-2024-28049

Status: AnalyzedMedium (6.8)—

Improper input validation in firmware for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Software and Intel(R) Killer(TM) Wi-Fi wireless products before version 23.40 may allow an unauthenticated user to enable denial of service via adjacent access.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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).
