Open-source RADIUS used for 802.1X on the transit-authority WLAN has a published CVE. How should vulnerability tracking treat that system?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
802.1X lives or dies on RADIUS. A hole in the city's AAA stack is a WLAN hole even if the box has no antennas—keep RADIUS in the vulnerability watch list.
Full Explanation
WLAN vulnerability monitoring must include authentication infrastructure that supports the wireless network, such as RADIUS/AAA. Compromises there undermine 802.1X trust even when AP firmware is current. Physical co-location with APs is irrelevant; AAA is in scope because of functional dependency.
