Description
A vulnerability was determined in omec-project amf up to 2.1.3-dev. Impacted is the function NGSetupRequest of the file ngap/handler.go. Executing a manipulation of the argument InformationElement can lead to memory corruption. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. Upgrading to version 2.2.0 is recommended to address this issue. The affected component should be upgraded. The same pull request fixes multiple security issues.

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.
Fix
Update github.com/omec-project/amf to 2.2.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-fxvj-wqv2-xgcq is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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.
