EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed.

  • cisco-sa-wifi-faf-22epcEWuMultiple Vulnerabilities in Frame Aggregation and Fragmentation Implementations of 802.11 Specification Affecting Cisco Products: May 20212021-05-11csaf · cisco_csafUS

    On May 11, 2021, the research paper Fragment and Forge: Breaking Wi-Fi Through Frame Aggregation and Fragmentation was made public. This paper discusses 12 vulnerabilities in the 802.11 standard. One vulnerability is in the frame aggregation functionality, two vulnerabilities are in the frame fragmentation functionality, and the other nine are implementation vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to forge encrypted frames, which could in turn enable the exfiltration of sensitive data from a targeted device. This advisory will be updated as additional information becomes available.

  • ICSA-21-236-01Hitachi ABB Power Grids TropOS2021-08-24icsa · cisa_csaf_otUS

    Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to direct a client that is connected to a TropOS Wi-Fi access point to fake websites and extract sensitive data.

  • ICSA-22-102-04Mitsubishi Electric GT25-WLAN2022-04-12icsa · cisa_csaf_otUS

    There are multiple vulnerabilities due to design flaws in the frame fragmentation functionality and the frame aggregation functionality in the Wireless Communication Standards IEEE 802.11. These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to steal communication contents or inject unauthorized packets.
