CVE-2026-55784— free5GC AUSF authentication contexts can be overwritten by concurrent requests for the same SUPI

Quick assessment

Affected
free5gc free5gc
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

free5GC是free5GC团队开源的一个第 5 代 (5G) 移动核心网络的项目平台。 free5GC 1.4.4及之前版本存在竞争条件问题漏洞，该漏洞源于AUSF组件将认证状态存储在全局sync.Map中，仅以SUPI为键，导致并发请求可覆盖活动认证上下文，造成所选用户认证被拒绝。

Vulnerability Title
free5GC AUSF authentication contexts can be overwritten by concurrent requests for the same SUPI
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
free5GC is an open-source implementation of the 5G core network. In version 1.4.4 and earlier, the AUSF component stores per-subscriber authentication state in a global sync.Map named AUSFContext.UePool in internal/context/context.go, keyed only by SUPI. Every request handled by internal/sbi/processor/ue_authentication.go creates an AusfUeContext, and AddAusfUeContextToPool executes ausfContext.UePool.Store(ausfUeContext.Supi, ausfUeContext), unconditionally replacing the active context for that SUPI. An attacker with access to the AUSF SBI/N12 interface can send concurrent POST /nausf-auth/v1/ue-authentications requests for the same target SUPI, causing all attempts to share one logical authentication context URL while K_aut, XRES, and EapID are repeatedly overwritten. A valid EAP-AKA' response for an earlier challenge is then checked against the latest context, causing AT_MAC verification to fail and denying authentication to the selected subscriber while the request flood continues. No fixed version is available as of this review.
