Unauthenticated code execution via weak helper authentication
Published Aug 25, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026
Weak authentication in NVIDIA NemoClaw 0 through 0.0.4 for Linux allows remote attackers to execute code through its remote-access helper workflow. NVIDIA has not disclosed how the helper fails to validate a claimed identity or which authentication value is weakened. Exploitation requires network reachability and high-complexity conditions; successful access can expose or alter data and execute code.

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.
