AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
AC:H because exploitation requires MitM network positioning or upstream server compromise, not merely network reachability; all other metrics from NVD vector are well-supported.

NVIDIA NemoClaw for Linux contains a vulnerability in its installation scripts, where an attacker could cause a download of code without integrity check. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Unverified code download in NVIDIA NemoClaw installation scripts for Linux (versions 0.0.0 through 0.0.21) allows a network-positioned attacker to substitute malicious payloads during installation, enabling code execution, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and data tampering on the target host. The root cause is CWE-494: the installation pipeline fetches remote code without cryptographic integrity verification, leaving the download channel open to man-in-the-middle substitution or upstream server compromise. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | A user or automated system must actively run the NemoClaw installation or update script on a Linux host running version 0.0.21 or earlier - no exploitation is possible absent this trigger. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects full-system compromise potential if the attack succeeds, and the high impact metrics are well-founded. … 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 | The primary fix is to upgrade NemoClaw to a version beyond 0.0.21 once NVIDIA releases a patched build; the exact patched version number is not stated in available data and should be confirmed via the NVIDIA Product Security advisory at https://github.com/NVIDIA/product-security/tree/main/2026/5872 before upgrading. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: inventory all systems using NemoClaw versions 0.0.0-0.0.21 and halt new deployments immediately. …
