SIGTRAN Exploits Overview
SCTP Association Scanning and Enumeration
A tool to discover and enumerate SCTP endpoints and associations in a SIGTRAN network

Impact:

This exploit allows an attacker to discover SIGTRAN components in a network, which is the first step in targeting SIGTRAN infrastructure for attacks.

Target Components:

  • No target components specified

Mitigation:

Implement IP-based access controls for SCTP endpoints, deploy SCTP-aware intrusion detection systems, and monitor for scanning activities.

M3UA Message Injection Attack
A tool to craft and inject malicious M3UA messages into a SIGTRAN network

Impact:

This exploit allows an attacker to inject malicious M3UA messages into a SIGTRAN network, potentially leading to service disruption, traffic redirection, or execution of SS7 attacks through the SIGTRAN infrastructure.

Target Components:

  • No target components specified

Mitigation:

Implement SCTP authentication (RFC 4895), validate M3UA message sources and parameters, and deploy SIGTRAN-aware security monitoring.
