CVE-2023-31011

Privilege escalation and information disclosure via REST validation

Published Sep 20, 2023 · Updated Sep 24, 2024

Improper input validation in NVIDIA DGX H100 BMC before 23.08.07 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges and read information via REST. The REST service accepts attacker-controlled input without adequate validation, and NVIDIA has not disclosed the specific faulty endpoint or operation. Access requires authenticated management privileges and adjacent network reachability; reported impact is privilege escalation and information disclosure, with no public mechanism details beyond improper validation.
