Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability has been identified in the wireless encryption handling of Wi-Fi transmissions. A malicious actor can generate shared-key authenticated transmissions containing targeted payloads while impersonating the identity of a primary BSSID.Successful exploitation allows for the delivery of tampered data to specific endpoints, bypassing standard cryptographic separation.
AnalysisAI
Improper cryptographic validation in ArubaOS Wi-Fi encryption allows adjacent network attackers to forge authenticated frames by spoofing the primary BSSID and inject tampered data to targeted clients without authentication. This medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.4) bypasses standard encryption separation between wireless endpoints, enabling data manipulation on affected networks. No patch is currently available.
Technical ContextAI
