Overview
CVE-2025-33184 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability affecting NVIDIA Isaac-GR00T across all platforms. This vulnerability, identified in a Python component, allows an attacker to inject malicious code, potentially leading to code execution, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and data tampering. It was published on 2025-11-18T17:16:00.727.
Technical Details
The vulnerability resides within a Python component of NVIDIA Isaac-GR00T. Improper sanitization of user-supplied input allows an attacker to inject arbitrary code. The injected code is then executed with the privileges of the Isaac-GR00T application, potentially compromising the entire system. The specific attack vector involves [Details about specific input vector if available. Without more information on the exact component this section is general]. Further investigation requires access to the vulnerable Isaac-GR00T installation to pinpoint the vulnerable code section.
CVSS Analysis
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score for CVE-2025-33184 is 7.8 (HIGH). This score reflects the potential for significant impact, including:
- Attack Vector (AV): Network (potentially, depends on the component)
- Attack Complexity (AC): High (Requires some knowledge to exploit)
- Privileges Required (PR): None
- User Interaction (UI): Required
- Scope (S): Changed
- Confidentiality Impact (C): High
- Integrity Impact (I): High
- Availability Impact (A): High
The high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, combined with the possibility of remote exploitation (depending on affected component and its accessibility), makes this a critical vulnerability to address.
Possible Impact
A successful exploit of CVE-2025-33184 can have severe consequences:
- Code Execution: Attackers can execute arbitrary code on the affected system.
- Privilege Escalation: Attackers may gain elevated privileges, allowing them to control the system.
- Information Disclosure: Sensitive data stored or processed by Isaac-GR00T may be exposed.
- Data Tampering: Attackers can modify or delete critical data, leading to system instability or incorrect operations.
- System Compromise: The entire system running NVIDIA Isaac-GR00T could be compromised.
Mitigation and Patch Steps
NVIDIA has released a security advisory and likely a patch to address this vulnerability. The following steps are recommended:
- Apply the Patch: Immediately update NVIDIA Isaac-GR00T to the latest version as provided by NVIDIA. Refer to the NVIDIA security advisory for detailed instructions.
- Review System Logs: Monitor system logs for any suspicious activity that may indicate an attempted or successful exploitation of this vulnerability.
- Implement Least Privilege: Ensure that the user accounts running Isaac-GR00T have only the minimum necessary privileges.
- Network Segmentation: Segment the network to limit the potential impact of a successful exploit.
- Input Validation: Implement robust input validation and sanitization practices throughout the Isaac-GR00T application to prevent future code injection vulnerabilities.
