New Router Vulnerability 'WPSplinter' Affects Millions of Devices

A Belgian security researcher has uncovered a critical vulnerability in Broadcom's Wi-Fi implementation, dubbed 'WPSplinter'. The flaw, which is actually two separate bugs, allows attackers within Wi-Fi range to execute arbitrary code on affected routers via a crafted WPS message. Broadcom has stated the issue was known since 2010 and was supposedly fixed in 2018, but the patch was insufficient. The vulnerability potentially affects millions of devices from numerous router manufacturers that use Broadcom's Wi-Fi software. The researcher has published a list of affected devices on GitHub and has contacted Broadcom and Belgian authorities. No responses have been received yet, and no public fix is currently available.

• Security researcher Quentin Kaiser discovered the 'WPSplinter' vulnerability in Broadcom's Wi-Fi implementation.
• The vulnerability affects potentially millions of Broadcom-based access points and hundreds of products.
• The flaw has been present since 2010; a 2018 fix was insufficient.
