Impact

An OS command injection flaw exists in the status and logs plugin commands of NVIDIA NemoClaw for Linux. An attacker able to supply crafted input to these commands can cause arbitrary shell commands to run on the host, leading to code execution, data tampering, information disclosure, and denial of service. The weakness is an example of CWE‑78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects NVIDIA NemoClaw for Linux. Specific affected releases are not listed in the advisory; therefore, the scope of vulnerability remains uncertain. Organizations should verify whether their current deployments are affected and apply the vendor patch when available.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.8 indicates high severity. The EPSS score is not available, but the lack of a KEV listing suggests no confirmed exploits yet. The likely attack vector is through privileged access to the plugin interface; a local or potentially remote attacker with sufficient privileges could trigger the command injection. Given the high severity and the potential impact, the risk remains significant until mitigated.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply any available NVIDIA patch for NemoClaw that addresses the command injection.
  • Configure the status and logs plugin to restrict command execution to trusted users only, or disable the plugin if not needed.
  • Implement strict input validation or sanitization on all plugin command parameters to neutralize special characters before they reach the operating‑system shell.
  • Monitor system logs for anomalous command execution attempts and investigate any suspicious activity.
