Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-11 Error Handling good match

prevent

Requires the system to handle errors and exceptions from malformed request headers gracefully without crashing or causing denial of service.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Mandates validation of information inputs such as HTTP request headers to detect and reject malformed ones before processing, preventing uncaught exceptions.

SC-5 Denial-of-service Protection good match

prevent

Implements denial-of-service protection to counter crash-inducing malformed requests targeting the Triton Inference Server.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation Impact

Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.

NVD Description

NVIDIA Triton Inference Server contains a vulnerability where an attacker could cause a server crash by sending a malformed request header to the server. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of service.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2026-24175 is a vulnerability in NVIDIA Triton Inference Server that allows an attacker to cause a server crash by sending a malformed request header. This issue, published on 2026-04-07, is rated with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) and is associated with CWE-248 (Uncaught Exception). The flaw affects the server's ability to handle certain HTTP requests properly, leading to denial of service.

A remote attacker with network access to the Triton Inference Server can exploit this vulnerability without authentication privileges or user interaction. The attack requires low complexity, involving the transmission of a specially crafted malformed request header, which triggers an uncaught exception and crashes the server process. Successful exploitation results in a denial of service, disrupting inference services until the server is restarted.
