CVE-2024-0096

Privilege escalation via user-controlled execution-flow changes

Published May 9, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Improper privilege management in NVIDIA ChatRTX 0.2.1 and earlier allows local users to escalate privileges through crafted UI input. NVIDIA states that user input sent to the ChatRTX UI changes execution flow improperly but does not identify the affected function or validation error. Low privileges and local access are required; successful exploitation exposes information and permits data tampering, without reported availability impact.
