CVE-2026-23601
Received Received - Intake
Wi-Fi Encryption Bypass via Shared-Key Authentication Spoofing

Publication date: 2026-03-04

Last updated on: 2026-03-09

Assigner: Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)

Description
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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the wireless encryption handling of Wi-Fi transmissions. It allows a malicious actor to create shared-key authenticated transmissions with specific payloads while pretending to be the primary BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier).

By exploiting this flaw, the attacker can deliver tampered data to targeted endpoints, effectively bypassing the usual cryptographic protections that separate and secure wireless communications.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability includes the potential for an attacker to impersonate a trusted Wi-Fi network and send manipulated data to specific devices.

This can lead to compromised data integrity and confidentiality, as the attacker bypasses standard cryptographic separation, possibly resulting in unauthorized access to sensitive information or disruption of network communications.
