NVIDIA KAI Scheduler contains a vulnerability where an attacker could access API endpoints without authorization. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to information disclosure.
AnalysisAI
Authorization bypass in NVIDIA KAI Scheduler allows authenticated network attackers to access protected API endpoints and disclose sensitive information across security boundaries. The vulnerability (CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function) enables low-privileged authenticated users to read high-value data outside their intended scope (CVSS scope changed to 'C', high confidentiality impact). NVIDIA has published advisory 5818 with remediation guidance. No evidence of active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) or public exploit code at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
NVIDIA KAI Scheduler is an orchestration/scheduling component in NVIDIA's AI infrastructure stack, likely managing GPU workload distribution and resource allocation. The vulnerability stems from CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function), meaning certain API endpoints lack proper authorization checks despite the system having an authentication framework. The CVSS vector indicates scope change (S:C), suggesting the vulnerability allows attackers to break out of their assigned security context - potentially accessing other users' job data, resource configurations, or cluster information. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:nvidia:kai_scheduler) covers all versions according to available data, though NVIDIA advisory 5818 likely specifies exact affected and fixed versions.
RemediationAI
Upgrade NVIDIA KAI Scheduler to the patched version specified in NVIDIA Security Advisory 5818 (https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5818). If immediate patching is not feasible, implement compensating controls: restrict network access to KAI Scheduler API endpoints using IP allowlisting or VPN-only access (reduces AV:N to AV:A, but adds operational complexity for legitimate users); implement additional authentication proxy or API gateway with strict authorization policies in front of scheduler endpoints (introduces architectural dependency and potential performance overhead); audit and minimize low-privilege account permissions within the scheduler to reduce potential attacker foothold (limited effectiveness since vulnerability bypasses intended authorization). These workarounds provide defense-in-depth but do not eliminate the underlying authorization flaw - patching remains the only complete remediation.
