Zebra Android 14 must be configured to disable ad hoc wireless client-to-client connection capability.

Rule version ZEBR-14-009500 · STIG v1 · 2026-08-24

Discussion

Ad hoc wireless client-to-client connections allow mobile devices to communicate with each other directly, circumventing network security policies and making the traffic invisible. This could allow the exposure of sensitive DoW data and increase the risk of downloading and installing malware on the DoW mobile device.

SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1/WLAN

Check

This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool and the Zebra Android device.

On the management tool, in the user restrictions, verify "Wi-Fi Direct" has been set to "Disallow".

On the Zebra Android device:

1. Open Settings >> Connections >> Wi-Fi. 2. From the hamburger menu, select "Wi-Fi Direct". 3. Verify that "Wi-Fi Direct" cannot be selected.

If on the management tool "Wi-Fi Direct" is not set to "Disallow", or on the Zebra Android device a Wi-Fi Direct device is listed that can be connected to, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the Zebra Android devices to disallow Wi-Fi Direct.

On the management tool, in the user restrictions, set "Wi-Fi Direct" to "Disallow".

Wi-Fi Direct connections and pairing between devices will become unavailable.
