CVE-2026-65172: NVIDIA AIStore missing authorization in ETL management API

CVE-2026-65172 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.6 · Published 2026-10-13

NVIDIA AIStore for Linux and Kubernetes is a data processing framework that manages extract-transform-load (ETL) jobs for large-scale data pipelines. An unauthenticated attacker can access sensitive ETL information and control running jobs by sending crafted requests to the AIStore proxy, potentially exposing data and disrupting critical data-processing operations.

Technologies: Nvidia AIStore. Vendors: Nvidia.

Technical details

A missing authorization vulnerability exists in the ETL management API where unauthenticated remote attackers can send crafted GET and POST requests to an AIStore proxy to access ETL information or manipulate existing ETL jobs. No authentication is required; the attacker needs only network access to the proxy. A successful exploit grants information disclosure and the ability to start or stop ETL operations, affecting data integrity and availability.
