Message injection via unauthenticated encrypted radio traffic
Published Oct 19, 2023 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Cryptographic integrity failure in TETRA AIE allows physically proximate attackers to inject manipulated radio traffic. AIE encrypts traffic with a stream cipher but does not authenticate the ciphertext, so bit changes produce corresponding changes in decrypted plaintext. The attack requires an active radio position and applies to non-end-to-end-encrypted traffic, permitting forged messages and limited service interruption.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
