CVE-2026-24271: CWE-770 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM
NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM has a vulnerability in its OpenAI-compatible inference API that allows an attacker to cause allocation of GPU resources without any limits or throttling. This can lead to denial of service conditions. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-770 and has a CVSS score of 6.2, indicating medium severity. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided yet.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-24271 is a resource allocation vulnerability in NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM's OpenAI-compatible inference API. The flaw allows an attacker to trigger unlimited GPU resource allocation, potentially exhausting resources and causing denial of service. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling). There is no vendor advisory or patch available at this time, and the product is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on NVIDIA's future updates.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could cause denial of service by exhausting GPU resources due to unthrottled allocation. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity reported. The medium CVSS score reflects the denial of service impact with low attack complexity and no privileges required.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or workaround is currently available, users should monitor NVIDIA advisories for updates. No specific mitigations are provided by the vendor at this time.
