Baicells Nova 430H eNodeB DoS flaw unpatched
Free public brief. The indicators, the detections with Splunk and KQL already written, and a Slack alert the next time this touches a vendor you run are in the app — free account, no card.
An unauthenticated attacker in radio range can crash cell signaling on Baicells Nova 430H eNodeBs via a malformed uplink message; no fix is planned.
CISA has published an ICS advisory for a denial-of-service vulnerability (CVE-2026-96274) affecting Baicells Nova 430H eNodeB devices (model pBS3101SH) running BaiBLQ_3.0.12 or earlier. The flaw stems from improper validation of an NAS payload within an uplink message sent during connection setup; an unauthenticated device within radio range can craft a malformed message that the eNodeB forwards to the core network, triggering a shutdown of the signaling association for the affected cell. This causes a temporary service disruption until connectivity is re-established between the eNodeB and core network.
The vulnerability requires physical radio-range proximity and is not remotely exploitable over the internet. Baicells has not responded to CISA's outreach and no fix is currently planned, leaving affected operators without a vendor remediation path. CISA recommends standard network isolation practices — minimizing exposure of control system devices, segmenting them behind firewalls away from business networks, and using VPNs for any necessary remote access — though these mitigations primarily address network-layer exposure rather than the radio-range attack vector itself.
No known public exploitation has been reported. Given the lack of a patch, affected operators (communications and IT sector organizations using this eNodeB model) should contact Baicells support directly for guidance and consider compensating controls such as monitoring for signaling anomalies or restricting physical/RF access to deployment sites.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries its extracted indicators, its detections with the Splunk SPL and Microsoft KQL already written, the actors and CVEs it names as live profiles, and the vendor research on the same campaign — the primary source the news paraphrased, cited and read directly.
It sits in a corpus of 11,331 reports from 152 sources, 2,732 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them — about forty a week that are yours, not the four hundred that are not.
