Ella Core is a 5G core designed for private networks. Prior to 1.10.0, Ella Core does not verify the UE Security Capabilities received in NGAP PathSwitchRequest messages against its locally stored values. A malicious gNB can overwrite Ella Core's stored UE security capabilities for any UE with arbitrary values by sending a single crafted PathSwitchRequest. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.10.0.

Affected: Go: github.com/ellanetworks/core

## Summary

Ella Core does not verify the UE Security Capabilities received in NGAP PathSwitchRequest messages against its locally stored values. A malicious gNB can overwrite Ella Core's stored UE security capabilities for any UE with arbitrary values by sending a single crafted PathSwitchRequest.

## Impact

A gNB can corrupt Ella Core's stored UE security capabilities for a target UE.

## Fix

The PathSwitchRequest handler now compares the received UE Security Capabilities against Ella Core's locally stored values, preserves the stored values on mismatch, returns them in the PathSwitchRequestAcknowledge, and logs the event.
