Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was determined in Open5GS up to 2.7.7. The affected element is the function ogs_nas_parse_qos_rules of the component SMF. Executing a manipulation can lead to denial of service. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Open5GS up to version 2.7.7 allows authenticated remote attackers to crash the Session Management Function (SMF) via manipulation of QoS rule parsing in the ogs_nas_parse_qos_rules function. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.1 but public exploit code is available; however, exploitation requires prior authentication and causes only availability impact without confidentiality or integrity compromise.
Technical ContextAI
Open5GS is an open-source 5G core network implementation. The vulnerability resides in the SMF (Session Management Function) component, specifically in the ogs_nas_parse_qos_rules function which processes Quality of Service (QoS) rule data from NAS (Non-Access Stratum) protocol messages. The root cause is classified as CWE-404 (Improper Resource Validation), indicating that the function fails to properly validate or sanitize QoS rule data before processing, allowing a malformed or oversized payload to trigger a denial of service condition. The attack vector is network-based, targeting the 5G core network's control plane interfaces where authenticated subscribers or access network elements communicate with the SMF.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the Open5GS project acknowledged the issue via GitHub but has not responded with a fix or patched release version. Operators should monitor the official Open5GS GitHub repository (https://github.com/open5gs/open5gs/) for patched version announcements or apply upstream commits that address CWE-404 validation in ogs_nas_parse_qos_rules once released. As interim compensating controls: restrict network access to SMF to only authorized access network elements and authenticated subscribers using firewall rules or network segmentation; implement rate limiting on NAS message processing to reduce denial of service impact; deploy monitoring to detect abnormal QoS rule processing failures and alert operations teams; consider running SMF in a container with automatic restart policies to minimize service downtime if exploitation occurs. Note that these controls mitigate impact but do not eliminate the vulnerability - patching remains the primary remediation once available.
