Summary

CVE-2026-24147 is a medium-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Nvidia Triton Inference Server. Its CVSS base score is 4.8 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 39th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
Why these techniques?

Path traversal (CWE-22) in public-facing Triton server model config upload directly enables remote file read/DoS via T1190.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly blocks CWE-22 path traversal by validating and sanitizing pathnames in uploaded model configuration files before they are processed.

prevent

Enforces access control policies on the model upload and configuration endpoints, preventing unauthorized users from supplying malicious pathnames that reach the file system.

prevent

Restricts which accounts or roles are permitted to perform configuration changes such as model uploads, limiting the attack surface for path-traversal exploits.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.

PR.AA-05 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

detects

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.

prevents

Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.

mitigates

Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
