CVE-2026-24260Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Authenticated code execution via undisclosed TOCTOU race

Published Jul 1, 2026 · Updated Jul 1, 2026

A TOCTOU race in NVIDIA Container Toolkit 1.19.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code with elevated privileges. NVIDIA has not disclosed the affected component, raced resource, or unsafe operation performed between its check and use. Low-privileged network access and winning the race are required; NVIDIA GPU Operator 26.3.1 and earlier deployments share the code-execution and data-tampering exposure.
