GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

CVE-2019-18990 (GCVE-0-2019-18990)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2020-09-30 17:26 – Updated: 2024-08-05 02:02
VLAI
Summary
A partial authentication bypass vulnerability exists on Realtek RTL8812AR 1.21WW, RTL8196D 1.0.0, RTL8192ER 2.10, and RTL8881AN 1.09 devices. The vulnerability allows sending an unencrypted data frame to a WPA2-protected WLAN router where the packet is routed through the network. If successful, a response is sent back as an encrypted frame, which would allow an attacker to discern information or potentially modify data.
