Framing Frames: Bypassing Wi-Fi Encryption by Manipulating Transmit Queues Affecting Multiple Cisco Products

On March 27, 2023, the research paper Framing Frames: Bypassing Wi-Fi Encryption by Manipulating Transmit Queues was made public. This paper discusses vulnerabilities in the 802.11 standard that could allow an attacker to spoof a targeted wireless client and redirect frames that are present in the transmit queues in an access point to an attacker-controlled device. This attack is seen as an opportunistic attack and the information gained by the attacker would be of minimal value in a securely configured network.
