CVE-2022-22821

Arbitrary directory deletion via unchecked traversal paths

Published Jan 8, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Relative path traversal in NVIDIA NeMo ASR WebApp 1.5.1 and earlier allows attackers to delete arbitrary directories via crafted paths. ASR WebApp deletion interfaces accept user-controlled directory paths containing ../ sequences without verifying that resolved targets remain within the intended directory. The optional web app must be cloned from the full repository and launched with superuser privileges; regular pip and container distributions do not include it.
