This WiFi exploit is a low risk in most cases. The attacker would have to be in the vicinity of your WiFi. They could gain access to your WiFi, but once inside the WiFi, they would not automatically have access to anything attached to your network. They could (1) use your internet connection without permission, or (2) attempt to access and use resources on your network, which requires another layer of infiltration. It's a pretty critical security flaw, but it is a low probability threat since it requires them to be in the vicinity. More likely would be corporate attacks where access would give them access to hack hundreds or thousands of attached machines.
