CVE-2026-65170 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.6 · Published 2026-10-13

NVIDIA AIStore for Linux is a data storage framework used for managing large-scale machine learning workloads. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the experimental HT backend by sending a crafted URL, causing the server to make unauthorized requests to other systems and potentially exposing sensitive data.

Technologies: [Nvidia AIStore](https://junglewise.ai/threats/technologies/aistore). Vendors: [Nvidia](https://junglewise.ai/threats/vendors/nvidia).

## Technical details

The vulnerability is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) in the experimental HT backend of AIStore, triggered by a maliciously crafted original URL parameter. The vulnerability requires network access to an exposed AIStore instance but no authentication; successful exploitation allows an attacker to initiate server-side requests that could disclose information from internal systems or cloud metadata endpoints.
