Description
NVIDIA Spatial Intelligence Lab's (SIL) GEN3C contains an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the inference API server where the /request-inference and /seed-model endpoints deserialize raw HTTP request bodies using Python's pickle.loads() without authentication or input validation. Attackers can supply a crafted payload containing a __reduce__ gadget to the inference API port to achieve remote code execution as the inference process.

Impact

NVIDIA Spatial Intelligence Lab's GEN3C contains an unauthenticated remote code execution flaw in its inference API. The server deserializes the raw HTTP body of /request‑inference and /seed‑model calls via Python's pickle.loads() without authentication or input validation. An attacker can send a crafted pickle payload that exploits the __reduce__ gadget, allowing arbitrary code to be executed within the inference process. This flaw falls under CWE‑502 and presents a severe threat to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the host system.

Affected Systems

Affected systems are deployments of NVIDIA SIL GEN3C (nv‑tlabs:GEN3C). No specific version range is supplied in the advisory, so any instance of the product with the vulnerable inference API implementation is considered at risk. The vulnerability is tied to the inference API endpoints exposed on the service.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.3 indicates critical severity, while the EPSS score of <1% shows that, at present, the likelihood of exploitation is low but still possible. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The attack vector is remote over the network: an unauthenticated user may reach the exposed inference API port, craft a malicious pickle payload, and trigger code execution with the privileges of the inference process. Successful exploitation would grant the attacker control over the affected host.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest GEN3C release that removes untrusted pickle deserialization or patches the vulnerability.
  • Restrict network access to the inference API, limiting connections to trusted internal hosts or VPN.
  • Deploy an application firewall or intrusion detection system that rejects malformed or unexpected pickle payloads and enforce strict input validation or sandbox the inference process.
