Does anybody configure their phone to automatically scan photos for QR codes and visit the links?

Not sure but I think QR codes that hold wi-fi creds would more likely be automatically processed by phones. Seems like an adequate attack surface. Maybe dodgy creds could overflow or do some kind of DB attack. Or even legit creds could lead someone to connect to a malicious hot-spot captive portal that the attacker carries.
