CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2025-8801 — A vulnerability was found in Open5GS up to 2.7.5
A vulnerability was found in Open5GS up to 2.7.5. This affects the function gmm_state_exception of the file src/amf/gmm-sm.c of the component AMF. The manipulation leads to denial of service. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.7.6 is able to address this issue. The identifier of the patch is f47f2bd4f7274295c5fbb19e2f806753d183d09a. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.

Matched remediation archetype
Resource exhaustion and denial of service
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
- Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
- Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.
Remediate safely
- Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
- Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
- Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
