IEEE 802.11 - Arbitrary Network Packet Injection and Data Exfiltration via Fragment Cache Attack

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2020-24586. PoCs published by elvira-alec.

AI-analyzed exploit summary Fracture is a functional exploit framework for CVE-2020-24586, CVE-2020-24587, and CVE-2020-24588 (FragAttacks). It automates three attack chains via 802.11 frame injection to exploit A-MSDU aggregation vulnerabilities in WPA2/WPA3 networks, enabling arbitrary plaintext frame injection without knowing the password.

Description

The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a network. Under the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames encrypted using WEP, CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or exfiltrate user data.
