Hi,

the configuration files for hostapd (/var/run/hostapd-phyX.conf) are readable for everyone. This means everyone can read the wifi passwords. If a non privileged user calls 'uci show wireless', he will also get all wifi passwords. This possible e.g. for user nobody and dnsmasq.

Is this a a security issue?

Regards,
Hartmut
