CVE-2026-53805NVIDIA SIL GEN3C Unauthenticated RCE via Pickle Deserialization in Inference API
Critical 9.8
In plain English
A critical-severity unsafe deserialization in GEN3C from nv-tlabs. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.9% (higher than 59% of all known vulnerabilities). Ready-made attack tooling exists: public proof-of-concept code.
Official description
NVIDIA Spatial Intelligence Lab's (SIL) GEN3C contains an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the inference API server where the /request-inference and /seed-model endpoints deserialize raw HTTP request bodies using Python's pickle.loads() without authentication or input validation. Attackers can supply a crafted payload containing a __reduce__ gadget to the inference API port to achieve remote code execution as the inference process.
