AnalysisAI

Type confusion in Free5GC 4.2.0's aper component allows remote attackers to trigger memory corruption and information disclosure with high attack complexity and without authentication. The vulnerability stems from improper type handling in ASN.1 parsing and has publicly available exploit code, though active exploitation at scale has not been confirmed. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates unauthenticated remote exploitation (PR:N, UI:N) with high attack complexity (AC:H) and notable constraints: availability impact (VA:L) is present, but confidentiality and integrity impacts are assessed as none (VC:N, VI:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker sends a specially crafted 5G protocol message (encoded in ASN.1 PER format) to a Free5GC core network element (such as the AMF, SMF, or UPF) that handles aper-encoded N1/N2/N3 interface messages. The malformed message triggers type confusion in the aper decoder, causing it to misinterpret a crafted field as a different data structure. …
Remediation Upstream fix available in commit 26205eb01705754b7b902ad6c4b613c96c881e29 (referenced as PR #11 to the aper repository). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
