Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-05-27 17:16 - Updated: 2026-10-14 20:10
Severity
Summary
free5GC is an open-source implementation of the 5G core network. Prior to 4.2.2, free5GC's SMF mounts the UPI management route group without OAuth2/bearer-token authorization middleware. A network attacker who can reach SMF on the SBI can hit UPI endpoints with no Authorization header at all, and the requests reach the SMF business handlers. In the running Docker lab this was directly demonstrated for read (GET /upi/v1/upNodesLinks), write (POST /upi/v1/upNodesLinks with attacker-controlled UP-node and link payload), and delete (DELETE /upi/v1/upNodesLinks/{nodeID}) operations. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.2.

"value": "free5GC es una implementaci\u00f3n de c\u00f3digo abierto de la red central 5G. Previo a la 4.2.2, el SMF de free5GC monta el grupo de rutas de gesti\u00f3n de UPI sin middleware de autorizaci\u00f3n OAuth2/bearer-token. Un atacante de red que puede alcanzar el SMF en la SBI puede acceder a los puntos finales de UPI sin ning\u00fan encabezado de autorizaci\u00f3n, y las solicitudes llegan a los manejadores de negocio del SMF. En el laboratorio Docker en ejecuci\u00f3n, esto se demostr\u00f3 directamente para operaciones de lectura (GET /upi/v1/upNodesLinks), escritura (POST /upi/v1/upNodesLinks con un nodo UP y una carga \u00fatil de enlace controlados por el atacante) y eliminaci\u00f3n (DELETE /upi/v1/upNodesLinks/{nodeID}). Esta vulnerabilidad est\u00e1 corregida en la 4.2.2."
