CVE-2026-65097Network attack vector

Code execution via unverified installer download

Published Aug 25, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026

Improper integrity verification in NVIDIA NemoClaw 0 through 0.0.21 for Linux allows remote attackers to execute downloaded code. The installation scripts retrieve executable code from a remote location and run it without authenticating its origin or validating its integrity. Exploitation requires a user to invoke the affected installer; successful substitution executes with the installer's privileges and permits data access or modification.
