free5GC: Improper Input Validation and Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information in github.com/free5gc/udm

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 27.04.2026 Published: 27.05.2026 Updated: 28.05.2026

free5GC is an open-source implementation of the 5G core network. Prior to 4.2.2, the free5GC UDM component fails to validate the supi path parameter in six GET handlers of the nudm-sdm (Subscriber Data Management) service. An unauthenticated attacker can inject control characters into the SUPI parameter, causing UDM to forward a malformed request to UDR and return a 500 Internal Server Error response that exposes internal infrastructure details. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.2.
