A  Captive portal  embedding WispR  XML data
for connections from browsers/OSes that request a test page upon network
access.

However if WPA2 authentication is not method used for access,  then network
traffic is
vulnerable and not secured.

AP solutions that are non-standard being a "Non client" solution and using
"Open Wireless" mode SSIDs are likely so deficient in security as to be
an unreasonable risk for users to actually connect to.

If TLS  would somehow allow you to redirect or create a HTTPS connection
from
a domain name that is not yours, then this could obviously be exploited for
attacks.....
