Summary
The Soft Access Point (AP) feature in Samsung Smart TVs X10P, X12, X14H, X14J, and NT14U and Xpress M288OFW printers generate weak WPA2 PSK keys, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or bypass authentication via a brute-force attack.
Exploit prediction
4.97% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 92% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-09).
