DescriptionCVE.org

NVIDIA NeMo library for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the model loading component, where an attacker could cause code injection by loading .nemo files with maliciously crafted metadata. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to remote code execution and data tampering.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using NVIDIA NeMo library for all platforms face notable risk from CVE-2025-23304, a path traversal vulnerability rated CVSS 7.8. This could allow attackers to access or modify files outside intended directories, potentially exposing sensitive configuration or credentials. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and consider compensating controls in the interim.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Restrict file upload functionality via WAF; (2) Implement allowlist-based file type validation; (3) Use chroot/containerization to limit filesystem access.

Attack Technique

Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
