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.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <=8.1.4400
- Affected versionversion=0 <=8.2.2200
