Technical details
NVIDIA NVFlare Dashboard is vulnerable to an authorization bypass (CWE-639) within its user management and authentication system. The flaw stems from the system's reliance on user-controlled keys to determine authorization levels, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to manipulate these keys and bypass security controls. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to perform privilege escalation, data tampering, and remote code execution. The vulnerability is addressed in NVFlare version 2.7.2.
