Impact

NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM for Linux includes an authentication bypass that allows an attacker to invoke a critical function without proper validation. This flaw can result in arbitrary code execution, data tampering, and information disclosure. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-306, Missing Authentication, which directly compromises the confidentiality and integrity of the system by permitting unauthorized operations that should be restricted to authenticated users.

Affected Systems

The affected product is TensorRT-LLM on Linux. The advisory does not specify vulnerable releases, so all current and existing versions should be regarded as potentially affected until a vendor‑issued patch or update is released.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that the likelihood of exploitation in the wild is very small. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to involve local or remote exploitation of the unprotected function, with the attacker likely needing some degree of access to the system or the ability to trigger the function remotely, however the specific conditions are not detailed in the advisory.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM to the newest release that includes the authentication fix.
  • Restrict network access to the TensorRT‑LLM service by using firewall rules or by placing the service behind a bastion or VPN so that only trusted hosts can reach the vulnerable function.
  • If a patch is not yet available, disable or isolate the function that lacks authentication or enforce strict role‑based access controls to ensure only authorized users can invoke that function.
  • Monitor logs for attempts to invoke the unprotected function and investigate suspicious activity promptly.
