A team of academics has devised a novel attack that can be used to downgrade a 5G connection to a lower generation without relying on a rogue base station (gNB)
Sni5Gect research crew targets sweet spot during device / network handshake pause Security boffins have released an open source tool for poking holes in 5G mobile networks, claiming it can do up- and downlink sniffing and a novel connection downgrade attack - plus "other serious exploits" they're keeping under wraps, for now.…
Our research reveals two significant vulnerabilities in Microsoft Azure Private 5G Core (AP5GC). The first vulnerability (CVE-2024-20685) allows a crafted signaling message to crash the control plane, leading to potential service outages. The second (ZDI-CAN-23960) disconnects and replaces attached base stations, disrupting network operations. While these issues are implementation-specific, their exploitation is made possible by a systemic weakness: the lack of mandatory authentication procedures between base stations and packet-cores.
