CVE-2017-13081

19
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-13081 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) implementations that support IEEE 802.11w, impacting various Linux distributions and w1.fi. It allows an attacker within radio range to spoof frames from access points to clients by reinstalling the Integrity Group Temporal Key (IGTK) during the group key handshake. The attack requires high attack complexity and could lead to high integrity impact, but no confidentiality or availability impact. While not actively exploited in the wild (not in KEV), it has garnered significant media attention and community discussion, despite a lack of public exploit code in common repositories like Metasploit or ExploitDB.
