AI-suggested
- Immediate network segmentation and access control: Restrict network access to the NRF service to trusted management and network functions only, minimizing exposure to untrusted networks.
- Implement strict input validation and filtering at the network perimeter to block malformed or suspicious SBI requests attempting to create NFs with invalid types.
- Monitor NRF logs and network traffic for anomalous requests that attempt to create or query NFs with unexpected or invalid parameters.
- 5. Consider deploying redundancy and failover mechanisms for the NRF to maintain service availability in case of crashes. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on the 5G core components to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities proactively. 7. Develop incident response plans specific to 5G core network disruptions to minimize downtime and coordinate rapid recovery. 8. Where possible, apply runtime protections such as sandboxing or process isolation for the NRF to limit the impact of crashes. 9. Keep all 5G core network components updated with the latest security patches and advisories from vendors and open-source projects.
Description
Reachable Assertion vulnerability in Open5GS up to version 2.7.6 allows attackers with connectivity to the NRF to cause a denial of service. This is achieved by sending the creation of an NF with an invalid type via SBI and then requesting its data. The NRF executes a check that crashes the process, leaving the discovery service unresponsive.
