Make wireless networking secure by default #445
Description
What Happened?
In my opinion it is a security vulnerability that the default setting
of a new WiFi added using the UI is set up so that the WiFi
automatically connects when in range.
Especially in shared networks like public spaces etc. or networks of
private clubs etc. where everyone uses the same pre-shared key, anyone could easily setup an own access point with the same SSID and intercept the traffic
Steps to Reproduce
Add a new wifi
Expected Behavior
Wifi connects successfully.
I go out of range of the Wifi
I go back into the range
It does not connect again automatically
