Description:
Xia Shing Zee has reported a weakness in WeFi, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain knowledge of sensitive information.
The problem is that the application stores e.g. WEP, WPA, and WPA2 keys in clear text in the "ClientWeFiLog.dat" and "ClientWeFiLog.bak" files.
Successful exploitation reportedly requires that "diagnostic mode" is enabled.
The weakness is reported in version 3.2.1.4.1. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
A fix is reportedly available.
