Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
**Impact**
This is an Improper Error Handling vulnerability with Information Exposure implications.
- **Security Impact**: 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.
- **Functional Impact**: 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.
- **Affected Parties**: All deployments of free5GC v4.0.1 using the UDM Nudm_SDM service with DELETE operations on sdm-subscriptions endpoint.
**Patches**
Yes, the issue has been patched.
The fix is implemented in PR free5gc/udm#79.
Users should upgrade to the next release of free5GC that includes this commit.
**Workarounds**
There is no direct workaround at the application level. The recommendation is to apply the provided patch or implement API gateway-level validation to reject DELETE requests with empty path parameters before they reach UDM.
