CVE-2026-40246: free5gc UDR improper path validation allows unauthenticated deletion of Traffic Influence Subscriptions

• Severity: high (CVSS 7.5 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.4% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: yes
• Published: 2026-04-16 · updated 2026-10-20
• Weakness: CWE-285

Description

free5GC is an open-source implementation of the 5G core network. In versions 1.4.2 and below of the UDR service, the handler for deleting Traffic Influence Subscriptions checks whether the influenceId path segment equals subs-to-notify, but does not return after sending the HTTP 404 response when validation fails. Execution continues and the subscription is deleted regardless. An unauthenticated attacker with access to the 5G Service Based Interface can delete arbitrary Traffic Influence Subscriptions by supplying any value for the influenceId path segment, while the API misleadingly returns a 404 Not Found response. A patched version was not available at the time of publication.
