CVE-2013-4616

no score yetEPSS 0.9%

apple iphone os: no CVSS score yet. EPSS 0.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The WifiPasswordController generateDefaultPassword method in Preferences in Apple iOS 6 and earlier relies on the UITextChecker suggestWordInLanguage method for selection of Wi-Fi hotspot WPA2 PSK passphrases, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack that leverages the insufficient number of possible passphrases.
