CVE-2026-24154

Code execution via injected initrd arguments

Published Mar 31, 2026 · Updated Mar 31, 2026

OS command injection in NVIDIA Jetson Linux initrd allows physically proximate attackers to execute code via crafted boot arguments. The initrd accepts attacker-controlled command-line arguments without neutralizing elements that are interpreted as operating-system commands. Physical access to an affected Jetson Xavier, Orin, or Thor device is required; exploitation grants code execution or privilege escalation and can alter or disclose data or cause denial of service of an unspecified form.
