After some investigation, below is our conclusion of the analysis related to NetworkManager:

- There are no relevant bits in NetworkManager
- Both AP and client parts of the network association logic are handled by wpa_supplicant (or hostapd – same code base)
- Users of NetworkManager as a Wi-Fi client can be affected, but fix needs to go to the wpa_supplicant and the infrastructure
- Users of NetworkManager as a hot-spot are not affected because the attack needs multiple APs configured in a specific vulnerable fashion


Therefore, closing as not a bug.
