Impact

NVIDIA OpenShell for all platforms contains a command injection flaw that can be triggered by a malicious gateway. An attacker who exploits this weakness can run arbitrary OS commands, leading to code execution, data tampering, and information disclosure. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-78.

Affected Systems

Affected products are NVIDIA’s OpenShell on all supported platforms. No specific version numbers are disclosed, so any deployment of OpenShell may be vulnerable until it is updated.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 signals high severity, and the EPSS score is 1%, indicating a low but non‑zero exploitation probability. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but its high severity suggests it is worth prioritizing. The likely attack vector is network‑based, involving a compromised or malicious gateway that sends crafted commands to the OpenShell service. An attacker would need network access or control over the gateway to leverage this flaw.

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check NVIDIA’s product‑security portal for an available patch and upgrade OpenShell to the latest version as soon as possible.
  • Restrict network access to OpenShell services to trusted hosts or IP ranges and employ network segmentation to limit the influence of a potentially malicious gateway.
  • Continuously monitor traffic for unusual command patterns and enforce strict input filtering on any components that accept network‑based gateway instructions.
