Local privilege escalation via REST authentication failure
Published Sep 20, 2023 · Updated Sep 24, 2024
Improper authentication in NVIDIA DGX H100 BMC before 23.08.18 allows local users to gain privileges and execute code through its REST service. NVIDIA has not disclosed the affected REST endpoint or the authentication operation that fails to validate the host user's authority. Exploitation requires an existing low-privileged host account and can also disclose information or interrupt the controller service.
