Open5GS AMF npcf-build.c amf_nsmf_pdusession_build_create_sm_context denial of service

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.75% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 54.2% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: n/a Open5GS 2.7.6.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to n/a Open5GS 2.7.6 or later.
