CVE-2026-23601 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. A vulnerability has been identified in the wireless encryption handling of Wi-Fi transmissions. A malicious actor can generate shared-key authenticated transmissions containing targeted payloads while impersonating the identity of a primary BSSID.Successful exploitation allows for the delivery of tampered data to specific endpoints, bypassing standard cryptographic separation.. EPSS estimates a 0.08% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
