CVE-2026-47525: CWE-129 Improper Validation of Array Index in NVIDIA GeForce
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where an attacker could cause an improper validation of an array index. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability, identified as CWE-129, occurs due to improper validation of an array index within the kernel mode layer of the NVIDIA GeForce GPU Display Driver on Windows and Linux platforms. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker with high privileges to execute arbitrary code, cause denial of service, escalate privileges, disclose sensitive information, or tamper with data. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.7 with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, reflecting local attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no information about known exploits in the wild or available patches.
Potential Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability could result in significant impacts including arbitrary code execution, denial of service, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and data tampering on affected systems running NVIDIA GeForce GPU Display Drivers. The attack requires local access with high privileges, limiting the attack surface. The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system could be fully compromised.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or workaround information is provided, users should monitor NVIDIA's official security advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, limiting access to systems with NVIDIA GeForce drivers and ensuring only trusted users have high privileges may reduce risk.
