6 GHz Wi-Fi Flaws Enable Location Spoofing, Risk Critical Systems
Researchers found that Automated Frequency Coordination systems for 6 GHz Wi-Fi trust client location data by default, allowing attackers to spoof positions and disrupt traffic. This could interfere with critical systems relying on the spectrum. The flaws highlight a fundamental trust assumption in the AFC protocol.

The vulnerability is less about Wi-Fi itself and more about a design oversight in spectrum coordination that could have been caught earlier.
