CVE-2024-0113Network attack vector

Privilege escalation via unchecked CGI script path

Published Aug 9, 2024 · Updated Aug 13, 2024

CGI path traversal in NVIDIA Mellanox OS, Onyx, Skyway, and MetroX web support allows attackers to disclose data and elevate privileges. On Onyx, the /admin/launch endpoint uses the script query parameter as a file-operation path without validating that it remains inside the intended directory. ZDI reports unauthenticated, network-adjacent code execution on Onyx; NVIDIA's broader assessment requires user interaction and identifies confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
