NVIDIA NeMo Framework contains a vulnerability in model loading that could allow an attacker to exploit improper control mechanisms if a user loads a maliciously crafted file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, denial of service, and data tampering.
Weakness
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nemo | Nvidia | * | 2.5.3 (excluding) |
Potential Mitigations
- Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
- An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
