SCA: security update for github.com/free5gc/udm (GHSA-958m-gxmc-mccm)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438984

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- 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 DELETE requests with an empty supi path parameter. This leaks internal
error handling behavior and makes it difficult for clients to distinguish between client-side errors and
server-side failures. When a client sends a DELETE request with an empty supi (e.g., double slashes // in
URL path), the UDM forwards the malformed request to UDR, which correctly returns 400. However, UDM
propagates this as 500 SYSTEM_FAILURE instead of returning the appropriate 400 error to the client. This
violates REST API best practices for DELETE operations. The issue has been patched in version 1.4.2.
(CVE-2026-33065)

Solution

Update the github.com/free5gc/udm library and its related packages to version 1.4.2 or later.
