Technical details

The vulnerability is a classic unsafe deserialization flaw in NVIDIA Megatron Bridge where untrusted data is deserialized without proper validation. An attacker can craft a malicious serialized payload that, when deserialized by the application, triggers arbitrary code execution. The attack requires network access to systems running the vulnerable Megatron Bridge component. Successful exploitation results in remote code execution, data tampering, and information disclosure with no authentication required.
