How severe is CVE-2026-33906?

CVE-2026-33906 has a CVSS score of 7.2/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-33906?

CVE-2026-33906 affects the following packages: github.com/ellanetworks/core (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix CVE-2026-33906?

Update github.com/ellanetworks/core to 1.7.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-33906 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-33906 in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/ellanetworks/core. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-33906 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-33906?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-33906 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2026-33906 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-33906 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-33906?

CVE-2026-33906 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 30th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

When was CVE-2026-33906 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-33906 was published on March 27, 2026 and was last updated on April 8, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

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.
