CVE-2025-23243Network attack vector

Data tampering and service interruption via missing authentication

Published Mar 11, 2025 · Updated Jun 16, 2026

Improper access control in NVIDIA Riva 2.18.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to tamper with data or interrupt service. The riva_quickstart component exposes functionality through the gRPC API without authenticating the caller before granting access. No credentials or user interaction are required; successful requests can modify data or disrupt the Riva service, while no confidentiality impact is reported.
