AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Deserialization of a loaded model file: AV:L and UI:R because the victim must load the crafted artifact, PR:N as no prior auth is needed, with full C/I/A impact from code execution.

NVIDIA Model-Optimizer contains a vulnerability where an attacker may cause deserialization of untrusted data. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, data tampering, denial of service, and information disclosure.
AnalysisAI
Deserialization of untrusted data in NVIDIA Model-Optimizer (CVSS 3.1 base score 7.8) allows an attacker who supplies a crafted model artifact to achieve code execution, data tampering, denial of service, and information disclosure on the machine that loads it. The assessed vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) shows the severity comes from full loss of confidentiality and integrity once the payload runs, but the attacker must first get the victim to open or deserialize the malicious artifact in a local processing environment, so there is no remote, zero-interaction path. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to load or deserialize an attacker-supplied model artifact using NVIDIA Model-Optimizer - the UI:R metric confirms this mandatory user action, and AV:L confirms the malicious file must reach the local processing environment. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a credible but not emergency-level priority. … 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 | No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis, so the immediate action is to reconcile the installed Model-Optimizer version against the NVIDIA Product Security advisory (https://github.com/NVIDIA/product-security/tree/main/2026/5903) and upgrade to the fixed release as soon as NVIDIA publishes it; track the NVD entry (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-65142) for updates. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all systems and pipelines using NVIDIA Model-Optimizer and restrict the loading of model artifacts to trusted sources only; implement file scanning or allowlisting for model files. …
