3DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw has been found in Open5GS 2.8.0. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the component AMF UEContextReleaseRequest Path Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to improper authorization. It is possible to launch the attack remotely.
AnalysisAI
Improper authorization in Open5GS 2.8.0's AMF UEContextReleaseRequest path handler allows remote low-privileged attackers to trigger unauthorized UE context release operations in the 5G core network. The flaw, tagged as an authentication bypass (CWE-285), affects the Access and Mobility Management Function - a security-critical component governing device connectivity and session management in 5G deployments. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must have low-privileged authenticated access to the network interfaces exposed by the Open5GS AMF - consistent with the CVSS PR:L rating - likely the N2 interface (from gNB) or the internal SBI (Service Based Interface) used for inter-NF communication. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) with low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact reflects a real but bounded risk: the attacker needs low-level privileges (PR:L), limiting opportunistic mass exploitation, yet the network attack vector and low complexity mean the barrier is not high once network access is established. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with low-privileged access to the 5G core network's internal interfaces - for example, a compromised network function or a rogue node injected onto the Service Based Architecture network - sends a crafted UEContextReleaseRequest message to the Open5GS AMF targeting an active UE session. The AMF's handler fails to verify the requestor's authorization, accepts the malicious request, and releases the targeted UE's context, forcibly disconnecting the device and potentially exposing session metadata. … |
| Remediation | Consult the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-mg8r-2cvv-xq9j at https://github.com/open5gs/open5gs/security/advisories/GHSA-mg8r-2cvv-xq9j for the official patch guidance and fixed version - no specific patched release version was independently confirmed from the available input data, so the fix version should be verified against the advisory before upgrading. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
