CVE-2025-23250Network attack vector

Code execution via unrestricted pathname file write

Published Apr 22, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Path traversal in NVIDIA NeMo Framework before 25.02 allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files via input requiring user interaction. NVIDIA has not published the affected component or function, or how its pathname validation permits writes outside the intended directory. A successful write can execute code and tamper with data under the framework process's permissions.
