**How is CVE-2026-47570 attacked?** It is attacked with local access, in device firmware.

**Am I affected by CVE-2026-47570?** Check whether you run Nvidia GPU Display Driver for Windows at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

## Technical details

The vulnerability is a DLL/library search path injection in the CUDA driver; an attacker can place a malicious library in a location that is searched before the legitimate one, causing arbitrary code execution. This is exploitable locally (or via network if combined with other mechanisms to drop files) without authentication. The flaw affects the NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and could enable privilege escalation and complete system compromise.
