## What is CVE-2026-37230?

CVE-2026-37230 is a high-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 1 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

FlexRIC v2.0.0 crashes when the near-RT RIC receives a RIC_INDICATION message with a ran_func_id that does not exist in its registry. The lookup returns NULL, triggering assert() in Debug builds (SIGABRT) or NULL pointer dereference in Release builds (SIGSEGV). A remote unauthenticated attacker can crash the near-RT RIC (port 36421) by sending a crafted RIC_INDICATION with an arbitrary ran_func_id value.

Weakness: CWE-476 (NULL Pointer Dereference)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-37230 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-37230 is a high-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 1 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-37230 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
