Unauthenticated code execution via unsafe Torch deserialization
Published Nov 18, 2025 · Updated Nov 18, 2025
Deserialization of untrusted data in NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code without authentication. The TorchSerializer.from_bytes method passes network-supplied bytes to torch.load with weights_only=False, permitting pickle payloads to instantiate attacker-controlled objects. A network client that can reach the inference service can execute code in the server process context, which ZDI reports can be root.

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.
