MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires the attacker to already have local, low-privileged code execution on a system running the affected NVIDIA GPU Display Driver (kernel-mode component) for Windows or Linux; exploitation targets another process's GPU channel state. No user interaction and no elevated privileges are needed beyond the initial low-privilege foothold. Practical impact is materially limited to multi-user or multi-tenant deployments (VDI, cloud-GPU, shared workstations) where another process's GPU data is valuable; on single-user machines cross-process disclosure has little consequence. Impact is confined to information disclosure - no integrity or availability effect. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but modest-severity local information-disclosure issue, not a high-priority emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, 5.5 Medium) is internally consistent with the description: exploitation requires local access and existing low-privilege code execution, and the only impact is confidentiality (C:H) - there is no integrity or availability impact (I:N/A:N), so no code execution or privilege escalation is claimed. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC is present in the provided data, so there is no evidence of active or automatable exploitation. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag overstates the issue - this is an authorization (CWE-862) gap allowing one local process to read another process's GPU channel state, not an authentication bypass. Real priority is elevated only in multi-tenant contexts (VDI, cloud-GPU, shared workstations) where cross-process/cross-tenant memory confidentiality matters; on single-user endpoints the practical risk is low. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A local attacker who already has the ability to run low-privileged code on a shared GPU host (e.g., a VDI session, a cloud-GPU tenant, or a multi-user workstation) invokes the vulnerable kernel-mode driver interface to read the GPU channel state belonging to another user's process, harvesting sensitive rendered or computed data. No user interaction is required, but prior local code-execution access is a precondition. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
Local information disclosure in NVIDIA Display Driver for Windows and Linux allows an authenticated local user with low privileges to access another process's GPU channel state because the kernel-mode driver omits authorization checks. Affected platforms include NVIDIA GeForce, RTX/Quadro/NVS, and Tesla GPUs; the issue is rated CVSS 5.5 with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and the practical risk is greatest in multi-user or multi-tenant GPU environments such as VDI and cloud-GPU deployments.
RemediationAI
Apply the NVIDIA security update referenced in the vendor advisory at https://github.com/NVIDIA/product-security/tree/main/2026/5861; patch availability is indicated per vendor advisory, but the provided input does not specify an exact fixed driver version, so validate against NVIDIA's published fixed release for your product family. If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting local interactive access to systems with affected GPUs, especially shared workstations, VDI hosts, and cloud-GPU instances, and by separating GPU-using tenants or workloads so one local process cannot observe another's GPU context; these controls lower the likelihood of useful cross-process disclosure but do not remove the underlying missing-authorization flaw and may constrain multi-tenant GPU usability. Continue monitoring NVD (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-47603) and CVE.org (https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-47603) for updated remediation details.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in NVIDIA's kernel-mode GPU display driver, where missing authorization checks (CWE-862) permit a local process to read GPU channel state belonging to another process. GPU channel state can include command buffers, memory mappings, or execution context metadata associated with a separate application or virtual machine; cross-process disclosure is therefore an information leak, not a code-execution or denial-of-service primitive. The CPE data lists NVIDIA GeForce, RTX/Quadro/NVS, and Tesla product families, with tags also referencing Guest Driver and Virtual GPU Manager components, indicating affected deployments span Windows and Linux hosts, including virtualized GPU setups. The assessed CVSS vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N confirms the attacker needs an existing local low-privileged foothold, with no user interaction and high confidentiality-only impact.
