CVE-2026-40249

free5gc UDR fail-open request handling in PolicyDataSubsToNotifySubsIdPut may allow unintended subscription updates after input errors PUBLISHED

Description (CNA)

free5GC is an open-source implementation of the 5G core network. In versions 4.2.1 and below of the UDR service, the PUT handler for updating Policy Data notification subscriptions at /nudr-dr/v2/policy-data/subs-to-notify/{subsId} does not return after request body retrieval or deserialization errors. Although HTTP 500 or 400 error responses are sent, execution continues and the processor is invoked with a potentially uninitialized or partially initialized PolicyDataSubscription object. This fail-open behavior may allow unintended modification of existing Policy Data notification subscriptions with invalid or empty input, depending on downstream processor and storage behavior. A patched version was not available at the time of publication.
