Avoid deploying vulnerable versions in production environments where possible.
Description
CVE-2026-40343 is a medium severity vulnerability in free5GC's user data repository (UDR) component up to version 1.4.2. The flaw involves improper handling of errors in the POST handler for the /nudr-dr/v2/policy-data/subs-to-notify endpoint, where the service continues processing requests despite failures in request body retrieval or deserialization. This can lead to unintended creation of policy data notification subscriptions with invalid or incomplete input. No patch or official remediation is available at the time of publication.
