Deserialization of Untrusted Data in NVIDIA NeMo Framework for Linux

IdentifiersCVE-2026-24228CWE-502· Deserialization of Untrusted Data

CVE-2026-24228 is a Linux-specific vulnerability in NVIDIA NeMo Framework caused by deserialization of untrusted data. According to the provided content, the flaw affects NVIDIA NeMo Framework versions 0.0 through 2.7.2. Successful exploitation may allow an attacker to supply crafted serialized input that is processed by the framework in an unsafe manner, resulting in execution of unintended code or logic during deserialization. NVIDIA states that exploitation can lead to code execution, privilege escalation, data tampering, and information disclosure.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation may result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the vulnerable NeMo Framework process, which can in turn enable local privilege escalation, unauthorized modification of data, and disclosure of sensitive information. In shared AI training servers or NeMo-based AI pipeline environments, this could allow an attacker with an initial low-privileged foothold to compromise workloads, interfere with model development or training artifacts, and access data handled by the framework.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting local access to systems running NeMo Framework, especially shared AI training servers and multi-user pipeline environments. Limit execution of untrusted workflows and inputs, isolate NeMo workloads from untrusted users, and apply least-privilege controls to reduce the impact of exploitation. These are interim measures only; the primary mitigation is upgrading to 2.7.3 or later.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade NVIDIA NeMo Framework to version 2.7.3 or later. The provided content states that versions 0.0 through 2.7.2 are affected and that NVIDIA recommends obtaining the patched release from the official NeMo GitHub repository.
