github.com/omec-project/amf fixed: 2.2.0 
Upgrade github.com/omec-project/amf to 2.2.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for github.com/omec-project/amf

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2026-8782, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/omec project/amf:

inspect dependencies for github.com/omec-project/amf

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/omec project/amf in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.2.0), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-404: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release, where the product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. In Github.com/omec project/amf, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A weakness has been identified in omec-project amf up to 2.1.3-dev. This affects an unknown function of the file ngap/handler.go of the component NGAP Message Handler. This manipulation causes null pointer dereference. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 2.2.0 mitigates this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The same pull request fixes multiple security issues.
