CVE-2025-23343

Restricted-component file writes via path traversal

Published Sep 9, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Path traversal in NVIDIA NVDebug Tool before 1.7.0 allows attackers to write files into restricted system components. NVIDIA has not disclosed the affected function or path input, but identifies the flaw as CWE-22 path traversal that permits an out-of-bound write. Exploitation requires adjacent access, low privileges, high complexity, and user interaction; successful writes can expose or tamper with data or interrupt service.
