CVE-2025-33246

Local command execution via crafted evaluator configuration

Published Feb 18, 2026 · Updated Feb 18, 2026

Command injection in NVIDIA NeMo Framework before 2.6.1 allows local users to execute commands through ASR Evaluator configuration input. NVIDIA identifies the ASR Evaluator configuration path but has not published the parameter, code locus, or unsafe command-building operation. Low-privileged local access is required; successful exploitation executes commands in the evaluator's security context, exposing or altering data or interrupting service.
