- Path traversal via crafted SSID or BSSID values in capture file paths
- Command injection via unsanitized subprocess arguments
- HMAC audit log bypass
- Privilege escalation from the tool's root requirement
Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.
Report privately by emailing the maintainer (see commit history for contact). Include:
- A description of the vulnerability
- Steps to reproduce
- Potential impact
- Suggested fix (optional)
| Stage | Target |
|---|---|
| Acknowledgement | 48 hours |

Security research on wifi_down itself is welcome. Testing of third-party networks without authorization remains illegal regardless of this policy.
