{"id":"CVE-2022-37660","details":"In hostapd 2.10 and earlier, the PKEX code remains active even after a successful PKEX association. An attacker that successfully bootstrapped public keys with another entity using PKEX in the past, will be able to subvert a future bootstrapping by passively observing public keys, re-using the encrypting element Qi and subtracting it from the captured message M (X = M - Qi). This will result in the public ephemeral key X; the only element required to subvert the PKEX association.","modified":"2026-03-11T00:22:42.534483Z","published":"2025-02-11T23:15:08.140Z","references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/04/msg00019.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10207-025-00988-3"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/?id=15af83cf1846870873a011ed4d714732f01cd2e4"}],"affected":[{"database_specific":{"unresolved_ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"2.10"}]}],"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2022-37660.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N"}]}
