CVE-2026-65103: NVIDIA AIStore path traversal in object rename handler

CVE-2026-65103 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.1 · Published 2026-10-13

NVIDIA AIStore is a framework for managing distributed storage of large objects across clusters. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the rename function to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the system, potentially leading to code execution, privilege escalation, data theft, or system outage.

Technologies: Nvidia AIStore. Vendors: Nvidia.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the target-side object rename handler of AIStore for Linux, which fails to properly validate the rename destination parameter. An unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass pathname restrictions by submitting a crafted rename request directly to an AIStore target, leading to arbitrary file creation or overwrite. Successful exploitation could enable code execution, privilege escalation, information disclosure, data tampering, or denial of service.
