Summary

CVE-2026-37228 is a high-severity Reachable Assertion (CWE-617) vulnerability in Mosaic5G Flexric. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 35.4th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

Vulnerability details

FlexRIC v2.0.0 contains a reachable assertion in e2ap_recv_sctp_msg() (src/lib/ep/e2ap_ep.c). The function allocates a fixed 32KB receive buffer and enforces assert(rc < len) on the sctp_recvmsg() return value. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a single SCTP message with payload >=…

32,768 bytes to crash the near-RT RIC, iApp, E2 Agent, or xApp process via SIGABRT. No valid E2AP PDU is required. All four SCTP endpoint types (ports 36421 and 36422) share this vulnerable code path. In Release builds (NDEBUG), the stripped assertion leads to a signed-to-unsigned integer overflow and potential out-of-bounds read.

CWE(s): CWE-617

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation Impact

Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.

Why these techniques?

Remote unauthenticated SCTP message triggers assertion failure (or integer overflow/OOB read in release builds) to crash the public-facing RIC/E2 endpoints, directly enabling T1190 exploitation of a public-facing app and T1499.004 application exploitation for DoS.
