free5GC AUSF uses non-constant-time authentication comparisons and logs XRES* in 5G-AKA

Summary The AUSF component of free5GC compares authentication response values with normal Go equality helpers instead of constant-time cryptographic comparison functions. Two authentication flows are affected in internal/sbi/processor/ueauthentication.go: 1. 5G-AKA confirmation compares RES and...

CVE-2026-55785

free5GC's AUSF component (prior to version 1.4.5) performs 5G-AKA cryptographic authentication comparisons in ue_authentication.go using non-constant-time helpers: strings.EqualFold for RES*/XRES* and bytes.Equal for AT_MAC/XMAC. Additionally, the expected XRES* value is logged at INFO level befo...

CVE-2026-55785 free5GC AUSF uses non-constant-time authentication comparisons and logs XRES* in 5G-AKA

free5GC is an open-source implementation of the 5G core network. Prior to 1.4.5, the AUSF component performs cryptographic authentication comparisons in internal/sbi/processor/ueauthentication.go with ordinary equality helpers. Auth5gAkaComfirmRequestProcedure compares RES and XRES with...
