CVE-2026-41136
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
free5GC AMF provides Access & Mobility Management Function (AMF) for free5GC, an an open-source project for 5th generation (5G) mobile core networks. Prior to version 1.4.3, the `HTTPUEContextTransfer` handler in `internal/sbi/api_communication.go` does not include a `default` case in the `Content-Type` switch statement. When a request arrives with an unsupported `Content-Type`, the deserialization step is silently skipped, `err` remains `nil`, and the processor is invoked with a completely uninitialized `UeContextTransferRequest` object. Version 1.4.3 contains a fix.

Antes de la versión 1.4.3, el gestor ’HTTPUEContextTransfer’ en ’internal/sbi/api_communication.go’ no incluye un caso ’default’ en la declaración ’switch’ de ’Content-Type’. Cuando llega una solicitud con un ’Content-Type’ no compatible, el paso de deserialización se omite silenciosamente, ’err’ permanece ’nil’, y el procesador es invocado con un objeto ’UeContextTransferRequest’ completamente sin inicializar. La versión 1.4.3 contiene una corrección."
