Description

I have found a security flaw in pfSense wireless. If you enable WPA2 for security and use a password for the pre shared key that is too long the security appears to be enabled but anyone connecting to the wireless network can access the wireless network without entering a password. No warning is given in the web configurator admin panel and it appears to be enabled. But on the wireless side of things No authentication is displayed.

Work Around: Use shorter passwords.
