CVE-2026-65101 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.6 · Published 2026-10-13

NVIDIA AIStore is a framework for distributed data storage and sorting. An attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the distributed sort component by supplying a malicious URL, causing the server to make unauthorized requests to internal systems. This could result in information disclosure or access to sensitive data on the network.

## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in AIStore's distributed sort component, where insufficient input validation on external key map URLs allows server-side request forgery (SSRF). An attacker can supply a crafted URL to redirect the server's outbound requests to internal or restricted targets, potentially accessing sensitive information. The vulnerability requires network access to the AIStore service but does not require authentication.
