Received Received - Intake
Address Spoofing in Network Access Points Enables MitM Attacks

Publication date: 2026-03-04

Last updated on: 2026-03-09

Assigner: Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)

Description
A vulnerability has been identified where an attacker connecting to an access point as a standard wired or wireless client can impersonate a gateway by leveraging an address-based spoofing technique. Successful exploitation enables the redirection of data streams, allowing for the interception or modification of traffic intended for the legitimate network gateway via a Machine-in-the-Middle (MitM) position.

How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?

I don't know


What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?

I don't know


Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability allows an attacker who connects to an access point as a normal wired or wireless client to impersonate the network gateway by using an address-based spoofing technique.

By successfully exploiting this flaw, the attacker can redirect data streams, enabling them to intercept or modify traffic that is meant for the legitimate network gateway.

This effectively places the attacker in a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) position within the network.


How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:

I don't know


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

The vulnerability can impact you by allowing an attacker to intercept or modify your network traffic without your knowledge.

This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, data tampering, or disruption of normal network communications.
