4.4 MEDIUM

Local-only UAF requiring low-privilege credentials; A:L added independently because use-after-free in context cleanup commonly causes process crashes, consistent with the DoS tag despite VA:N in the provided vector.

DescriptionCVE.org

A security flaw has been discovered in Open5GS 2.7.7. This affects the function amf_context_final of the file src/amf/context.c of the component AMF. Performing a manipulation results in use after free. The attack is only possible with local access. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free in Open5GS 2.7.7's AMF component allows a local low-privileged user to access freed memory within the amf_context_final function in src/amf/context.c, producing a low-severity confidentiality exposure. Exploitation is strictly local - no network vector exists - and a public proof-of-concept is confirmed by the CVSS 4.0 E:P supplemental modifier. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain local OS credentials on Open5GS 2.7.7 host
Delivery
Execute proof-of-concept tool locally
Exploit
Trigger AMF context finalization routine
Execution
Exploit use-after-free in amf_context_final
Impact
Read residual freed heap memory contents

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires local access to the host operating system running Open5GS 2.7.7 with at least low-privilege OS credentials - remote or unauthenticated exploitation is not possible per the CVSS 4.0 AV:L/PR:L metrics. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk is low. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A local low-privileged user on a host running Open5GS 2.7.7 executes the available proof-of-concept tool, triggering the AMF context finalization routine in a way that causes `amf_context_final` to dereference a previously freed pointer. The attacker reads residual heap data from the AMF process memory, potentially exposing in-memory AMF context state. …
Remediation Consult the vendor security advisory at https://github.com/open5gs/open5gs/security/advisories/GHSA-88pq-hpwv-2vjw to identify the specific patched release version - no exact fix version was confirmed in the available intelligence data, so the upgrade target must be validated there before deployment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
