CVE: CVE-2026-42459
Summary
The free5GC UDM component fails to validate the supi path parameter in six GET handlers of the nudm-sdm (Subscriber Data Management) service. An unauthenticated attacker can inject control characters into the SUPI parameter, causing UDM to forward a malformed request to UDR and return a 500 Internal Server Error response that exposes internal infrastructure details.
Affected Package
- Ecosystem: Go
- Package:
github.com/free5gc/udm - Affected versions:
<= v1.4.2 - Patched versions: none yet
Details
The following handlers in internal/sbi/api_subscriberdatamanagement.go do not call validator.IsValidSupi() before passing the supi parameter to the processor:
HandleGetSmfSelectData—GET /:supi/smf-select-dataHandleGetSupi—GET /:supiHandleGetTraceData—GET /:supi/trace-dataHandleGetUeContextInSmfData—GET /:supi/ue-context-in-smf-dataHandleGetNssai—GET /:supi/nssaiHandleGetSmData—GET /:supi/sm-data
By contrast, HandleGetAmData in the same file correctly validates the supi parameter:
// HandleGetAmData — correctly validates (not vulnerable)
supi := c.Params.ByName("supi")
if !validator.IsValidSupi(supi) {
c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, problemDetail)
return
}
// HandleGetSmfSelectData — missing validation (vulnerable)
supi := c.Params.ByName("supi")
// ← no validator.IsValidSupi(supi) call
s.Processor().GetSmfSelectDataProcedure(c, supi, plmnID, supportedFeatures)The malformed supi is passed to the processor which constructs a URL to forward the request to UDR. Go's net/url parser rejects the URL containing control characters and returns an error. UDM catches this error and responds with a 500 SYSTEM_FAILURE that includes the full internal UDR URL in the detail field.
This is a missed fix of CVE-2026-27642, which applied the same validator.IsValidSupi() check only to internal/sbi/api_ueauthentication.go (HandleConfirmAuth and
