CVE-2011-5053
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.8)—💥 Exploit
The Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) protocol, when the "external registrar" authentication method is used, does not properly inform clients about failed PIN authentication, which makes it easier for remote attackers to discover the PIN value, and consequently discover the Wi-Fi network password or reconfigure an access point, by reading EAP-NACK messages.
CVSS
- Versión: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N
- Puntuación base: 5.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 3.27%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 88
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
💥 Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
