CVE-2026-24209: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in NVIDIA Triton Inference Server
NVIDIA Triton Inference Server contains a vulnerability where an attacker could cause a path traversal issue. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of service.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
NVIDIA Triton Inference Server contains a CWE-22 path traversal vulnerability where an attacker can manipulate file path inputs to access restricted directories improperly. This can lead to denial of service conditions by causing the server to malfunction or crash. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and impact limited to availability. No patch or official fix has been published by NVIDIA as of the current data, and the product is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on vendor updates.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can cause denial of service on the affected NVIDIA Triton Inference Server instances. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the NVIDIA vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, consider restricting access to the Triton Inference Server to trusted networks and monitor for unusual behavior that could indicate exploitation attempts.
