CVE-2025-29632 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in Free5GC v4.0.0. The issue is described as affecting the AMF and NGAP processing path, specifically including security.go, handler_generated.go, handleInitialUEMessageMain, DecodePlainNasNoIntegrityCheck, and GetSecurityHeaderType. Based on the available information, a remote attacker can trigger the flaw by sending crafted input to the vulnerable NAS/NGAP handling logic, leading to memory corruption and process instability. The provided details indicate the primary observed outcome is denial of service.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2025-29632, a denial-of-service vulnerability in free5GC (version 4.0.0 and earlier). The vulnerability arises from improper validation of the nASPDU field in InitialUEMessage processing, allowing an attacker to send a specially crafted NGAP message that causes the AMF component to crash. The repository contains three files: a README.md describing the vulnerability and usage, a free5gc.log file showing logs before and after the attack (demonstrating the AMF crash), and poc.py, a Python script that establishes an SCTP connection to the AMF and sends the malicious NGAP message. The exploit requires network access to the AMF's SCTP port (38412) and uses hardcoded local IP addresses (127.0.0.18) for both AMF and RAN. The payload is a static byte sequence sent over SCTP, and the exploit demonstrates a denial-of-service condition by crashing the AMF. No detection scripts or fake elements are present; this is a functional POC exploit.
