Since the vendor has not responded or released a fix, users should monitor official Open5GS channels for updates. In the meantime, consider implementing network-level protections to limit exposure of the AUSF component to untrusted networks.
Description
CVE-2026-8745 is a medium severity vulnerability in Open5GS versions up to 2.7.7.
