CVE-2026-65141
Description
A flaw was found in NVIDIA Isaac Lab. The software improperly evaluates untrusted input during dynamic code execution. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user to process malicious input, leading to arbitrary code execution, unauthorized data modification, sensitive information disclosure, or Denial of Service (DoS).
Statement
This vulnerability is evaluated as Important because successful exploitation grants complete control over the host application process, enabling arbitrary execution within the user's security context. Although the attack requires local user interaction to ingest malicious simulation data or scripts, the extensive blast radius across system integrity and confidentiality prevents a lower rating. NVIDIA Isaac Lab is not included or enabled by default in supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments, limiting broad operational risk to specialized deployments.
Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Access Control
Technical Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism
In some cases, injectable code controls authentication; this may lead to a remote vulnerability.
Access Control
Technical Impact: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity
Injected code can access resources that the attacker is directly prevented from accessing.
Integrity,Confidentiality,Availability
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
When a product allows a user's input to contain code syntax, it might be possible for an attacker to craft the code in such a way that it will alter the intended control flow of the product. As a result, code injection can often result in the execution of arbitrary code. Code injection attacks can also lead to loss of data integrity in nearly all cases, since the control-plane data injected is always incidental to data recall or writing.
Non-Repudiation
Technical Impact: Hide Activities
Often the actions performed by injected control code are unlogged.
