      <title>CVE-2026-55785 — free5GC AUSF uses non-constant-time authentication comparisons and logs XRES* in 5G-AKA</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-55785</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; free5gc&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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/ue_authentication.go with ordinary equality helpers. Auth5gAkaComfirmRequestProcedure compares RES* and XRES* with strings.EqualFold and logs the expected XRES* value at INFO level before comparison. EapAuthComfirmRequestProcedure compares AT_MAC and XMAC with bytes.Equal and evaluates XRES == RES with ordinary string equality. These comparisons can return at mismatch-dependent times, although testing did not demonstrate a practical remote timing oracle because of HTTP/SBI timing noise. The INFO log exposes authentication material to operators, log collectors, sidecars, or processes able to read AUSF logs. This issue is fixed in version 1.4.5.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
