NVIDIA Triton Inference Server is vulnerable to a path traversal attack that could allow an attacker to cause denial of service.
Vulnerability
Overview
CVE-2026-24208 describes a path traversal vulnerability in NVIDIA Triton Inference Server. The root cause is improper validation of file paths when processing user-supplied input, allowing an attacker to navigate outside the intended directory structure [1].
Exploitation
An attacker with network access to the Triton Inference Server can send specially crafted requests that exploit the path traversal flaw. No authentication is required if the vulnerable endpoint is exposed, making the attack surface accessible to unauthenticated remote attackers [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation leads to denial of service (DoS). By traversing to critical system files or causing the server to access invalid paths, the attacker can disrupt the server's normal operation, potentially rendering it unavailable [1].
Mitigation
NVIDIA has addressed this vulnerability in a security update. Users are advised to apply the latest patches from NVIDIA's official advisory to mitigate the risk [1].
