Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to SSID confusion error in the IEEE 802.11 standard. A remote attacker can trick the victim into connecting to unintended or untrusted network with Home WEP, Home WPA3 SAE-loop, Enterprise 802.1X/EAP, Mesh AMPE, or FILS. This occurs because the SSID is not always used to derive the pairwise master key or session keys, and because there is not a protected exchange of an SSID during a 4-way handshake.
