API key disclosure via command-line propagation
Published Aug 25, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026
Credential exposure in NVIDIA NemoClaw 0.0.1 and earlier allows local users to read an API key from process and sandbox metadata. Onboarding and setup paths pass NVIDIA_API_KEY into sandbox environments and literal command arguments, exposing it through process listings, procfs, container inspection, and audit logs. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and user interaction; disclosure compromises the credential and enables the vendor-reported data tampering.

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.
