Insufficient verification of data authenticity in IEEE 802.11 - CVE-2025-27558

Published: August 15, 2025


Vulnerability identifier: #VU114098
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27558
CWE-ID: CWE-345
Exploitation vector: Adjecent network
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient verification of data authenticity in mesh networks using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, or WPA3) or Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). A remote attacker on the local network can inject arbitrary frames towards devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames and perform spoofing attack.
