Summary

CVE-2026-24160 is a medium-severity Unchecked Return Value to NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-690) vulnerability in Nvidia Tensorrt Llm. Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Endpoint Denial of Service (T1499); ranked at the 38th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as NLP and Transformers; in the Other ATLAS/OWASP Terms risk domain.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-15 (Development Process, Standards, and Tools) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing NULL checks on function returns that may dereference.

SA-15 Development Process, Standards, and Tools partial match

Requiring documented development standards and tools can enforce mandatory error-return checking before dereference.

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-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly include static analysis, code review, and error-handling standards that prevent unchecked return values.

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

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development can detect missing NULL checks before release.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC mandates error-handling and input-validation practices that reduce unchecked return values.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements include defensive coding rules that address missing NULL checks.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles require robust error handling and pointer validation.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unchecked return values leading to NULL dereference.
