2025 Saw a Surge in Wireless Vulnerabilities
"Wireless vulnerabilities and exposures are accelerating at an unprecedented pace, with an average of 2.5 discovered per day in 2025 alone."
"Despite this environment, traditional vulnerability management models that rely on asset inventories, patch tracking, and IP-based scanning fail to address wireless risks and exposure."
"Wireless vulnerabilities have grown 20x faster than conventional threats over the last 15 years, increasing from just 4 reported CVEs in 2010 to 937 in 2025, with cumulative totals doubling every 2-4 years since 2014."
"Wi-Fi remains the largest source of disclosed vulnerabilities, accounting for over 60% of wireless CVEs, followed by Bluetooth, cellular, and Zigbee."
Wireless vulnerabilities and exposures are increasing at an unprecedented pace, with an average of 2.5 vulnerabilities discovered per day in 2025. Traditional vulnerability management approaches that depend on asset inventories, patch tracking, and IP-based scanning do not address wireless-specific risks and exposure. Wireless vulnerabilities have grown 20x faster than conventional threats over the last 15 years, rising from 4 reported CVEs in 2010 to 937 in 2025. Cumulative totals have doubled every 2–4 years since 2014, and cumulative growth exceeded 25% in both 2024 and 2025. Since the start of 2024, wireless vulnerabilities increased by 60%. Wi-Fi accounts for over 60% of wireless CVEs, followed by Bluetooth, cellular, and Zigbee.
