What is CVE-2012-4366?

Belkin wireless routers, including the Surf N150, N900, N450, and N300 models, configure a predictable default WPA2-PSK passphrase based on an eight-digit segment of the WAN MAC address. This vulnerability enables remote attackers to infiltrate the network by capturing the beacon frames broadcasted by the router, compromising network security and potentially allowing unauthorized access to sensitive information.
