DescriptionNVD

NVIDIA NemoClaw for Linux contains a vulnerability in its installation process, where an attacker could cause execution of untrusted code. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, data tampering, information disclosure, and denial of service.

AnalysisAI

Untrusted code execution in NVIDIA NemoClaw for Linux (versions up to and including 0.0.21) stems from the installer executing code without verifying its integrity, letting an attacker who can supply or interpose malicious code during installation achieve arbitrary code execution, privilege escalation, data tampering, information disclosure, and denial of service. NVIDIA assigns a CVSS of 9.8 with a fully network-based, no-privilege, no-interaction vector, though the flaw is rooted in the install process. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation targets the NemoClaw installation process specifically (versions ≤0.0.21): the attacker must be able to deliver untrusted code into that process - for example by controlling or MITM-ing the code/package source the installer fetches - because the installer performs no integrity check (CWE-494). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals conflict and warrant scrutiny. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade NemoClaw to a release later than 0.0.21 as published in NVIDIA's advisory (https://github.com/NVIDIA/product-security/tree/main/2026/5872); the input confirms 0 through 0.0.21 are affected but does not state an exact fixed version, so treat the advisory as the source of the patched build - Patch available per vendor advisory, exact fixed version not independently confirmed here. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all NemoClaw installations and identify systems running version 0.0.21 or earlier; pause new deployments of any NemoClaw version until a patch is released. …
