CVE-2026-33192: FREE5GC Udm

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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 PATCH requests with an empty supi path parameter. Additionally, the UDM incorrectly translates the PATCH method to PUT when forwarding to UDR, indicating a deeper architectural issue. This leaks internal error handling behavior, making it difficult for clients to distinguish between client-side errors and server-side failures. The issue has been patched in version 1.4.2.

Affected products

• FREE5GC Udm: before 1.4.2 (fixed in 1.4.2)
