Internal infrastructure disclosure via unvalidated SUPI paths
Published May 27, 2026 · Updated May 27, 2026
Information disclosure in free5GC UDM before 4.2.2 allows remote attackers to expose internal UDR details via crafted SUPI paths. Six nudm-sdm GET handlers omit validator.IsValidSupi(), pass control-character input into an internal UDR URL, and echo the parser error in a 500 response. The request needs network access to the UDM Service Based Interface; disclosure is limited to the UDR host, port, API path, version, and naming details.
