CVE-2023-33105 is a transient denial-of-service vulnerability in WLAN host and firmware components. The issue is triggered when a large number of open authentication frames containing an invalid transaction sequence number are sent to the affected wireless stack. Improper handling of this malformed or invalid protocol input can cause the WLAN subsystem to enter a temporary denial-of-service condition.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2023-33105, a vulnerability in Qualcomm WLAN Host and Firmware that allows a transient Denial of Service (DoS) via crafted 802.11 authentication frames. The main exploit script, 'exploit_v2.py', uses Scapy to generate and send a large number of open authentication frames with invalid transaction sequence numbers to a specified access point (AP), as configured in 'config.py'. The script includes logic to periodically check if the target AP is still up using airodump-ng and allows the user to pause and modify frame parameters interactively. The exploit requires a wireless adapter capable of injection and the interface to be in monitor mode. The repository is structured with a README providing detailed usage instructions, a configuration file for target parameters, the main exploit script, and a requirements file for dependencies. The exploit targets Qualcomm-based APs vulnerable to CVE-2023-33105 and is intended for research and educational purposes.
