In versions up to and including 1.4.1, the NEF component reliably leaks internal parsing error details (e.g., invalid character 'n' after top-level value) to remote clients, which can aid attackers in service fingerprinting. All deployments of free5GC using the Nnef_PfdManagement service may be affected. free5gc/udr pull request 56 contains a patch for the issue. There is no direct workaround at the application level. The recommendation is to apply the provided patch.
