Traffic spoofing via shared-GTK frame injection
Published Mar 4, 2026 · Updated Mar 4, 2026
Frame injection in HPE Aruba Networking AOS-8 and AOS-10 allows physically proximate attackers to deliver tampered data to Wi-Fi clients. The wireless encryption path accepts shared-key-authenticated frames that impersonate a primary BSSID, then delivers targeted payloads across cryptographic separation. Exposure requires Client Isolation to be enabled and radio proximity to a vulnerable network; successful injection can spoof traffic and modify data received by selected endpoints.
