Real-World Exposure
github.com/omec-project/amfReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
A flaw has been found in omec-project amf up to 2.1.1. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the component NGAP Message Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to memory corruption. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. This patch is called 8a4c33cdda866094f1989bdeff6d8642fce8de8435f89defd66831c97715f5aa.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/omec-project/amf, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
The records we use list no patched version of github.com/omec-project/amf for GHSA-3h63-fx68-x5fm. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.
Mitigate without a patch
Constrain what reaches the vulnerable code: limit the size and shape of untrusted input, isolate the affected component in a sandboxed or least-privileged process, and enable the platform's memory-safety mitigations (ASLR, stack protector, hardened allocator) so an out-of-bounds access is more likely to fail closed than to be exploitable.
