CVE-2026-24166: NVIDIA UFM Enterprise hard-coded cryptographic key in session management

CVE-2026-24166 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.1 · Published 2026-08-25

NVIDIA UFM Enterprise is a network fabric management platform used to monitor and administer high-performance computing and data center networks. The product contains a hard-coded cryptographic key in its session management system that an attacker could exploit to forge or decrypt sessions, potentially accessing sensitive operational data or gaining administrative control without proper authentication.

Technologies: Nvidia UFM Enterprise. Vendors: Nvidia.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the session management component of NVIDIA UFM Enterprise, where a hard-coded cryptographic key is used to protect session tokens or encrypted data. An attacker with network access to the UFM Enterprise service can leverage this static key to decrypt or forge valid session credentials, bypassing authentication controls. No special privileges are required to mount this attack, as the attacker only needs to interact with the exposed service. A successful exploit enables information disclosure (extraction of configuration, credentials, or operational state) and privilege escalation to administrative roles. Patches are expected to replace the hard-coded key with dynamically generated or properly managed cryptographic material.
