Ella Core

Ella Core is a 5G core designed for private networks. Prior to version 1.8.0, the PUT /api/v1/subscriber/{imsi} API accepts an IMSI identifier from both the URL path and the JSON request body but never verifies they match. This allows an authenticated NetworkManager to modify any subscriber's policy while the audit trail records a fabricated or unrelated subscriber IMSI. This issue has been patched in version 1.8.0.

Ella Core is a 5G core designed for private networks. Prior to version 1.7.0, the NetworkManager role was granted backup and restore permission. The restore endpoint accepted any valid SQLite file without verifying its contents. A NetworkManager could replace the production database with a tampered copy to escalate to Admin, gaining access to user management, audit logs, debug endpoints, and operator identity configuration that the role was explicitly denied. In version 1.7.0, backup and restore permissions have been removed from the NetworkManager role.

Ella Core is a 5G core designed for private networks. Prior to version 1.7.0, a deadlock in the AMF's SCTP notification handler causes the entire AMF control plane to hang until the process is restarted. An attacker with access to the N2 interface can cause Ella Core to hang, resulting in a denial of service for all subscribers. Version 1.7.0 adds deferred Radio cleanup in serveConn SCTP server so that every connection exit path removes the radio. Remove the stale-entry scan from SCTP Notification handling.
