Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Free5GC up to 1.4.1. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown code block of the component Delete Request Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information exposure vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-209. The product generates an error message that includes sensitive information about its environment, users, or associated data. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Free5GC is an open-source Linux Foundation project for 5th generation (5G) mobile core networks. In versions prior to 1.4.2, the UDM incorrectly converts a downstream 400 Bad Request (from UDR) into a 500 Internal Server Error when handling DELETE requests with an empty supi path parameter. This leaks internal error handling behavior and makes it difficult for clients to distinguish between client-side errors and server-side failures. When a client sends a DELETE request with an empty supi (e.g., double slashes // in URL path), the UDM forwards the malformed request to UDR, which correctly returns 400. However, UDM propagates this as 500 SYSTEM_FAILURE instead of returning the appropriate 400 error to the client. This violates REST API best practices for DELETE operations. The issue has been patched in version 1.4.2.
