CVE-2026-24175
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedNVIDIA 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.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceNVIDIA Triton Inference Server fails to properly validate or handle malformed HTTP request headers, allowing an attacker to send a specially crafted request that triggers a server crash. This represents a vulnerability in the server's HTTP request parsing logic where insufficient input validation leads to a denial-of-service condition.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Triton Inference Server installationCheck for Triton Inference Server processes running: ps aux | grep triton or docker ps | grep triton. Also check for installation directories like /opt/tritonserver or review deployed containers.Affected if Triton Inference Server is present and running in the environment
-
Determine installed Triton versionRun 'tritonserver --version' if the binary is accessible, or inspect the Docker image tag: docker images | grep triton. Check the version string against the affected range.Affected if The installed version is any version prior to 26.02 (e.g., 25.x, older releases)
-
Verify HTTP/REST API is enabledReview Triton configuration files or launch parameters. Default configuration enables gRPC and HTTP/REST endpoints. Check for --http-server-port flag or config.pbtxt with http_service enabled.Affected if HTTP/REST API endpoint is enabled (this is the attack vector)
-
Confirm direct network exposureReview network configuration to determine if Triton HTTP port (typically 8000) is directly accessible from untrusted networks, or if it is protected by an upstream proxy/load balancer.Affected if The HTTP endpoint is directly exposed to external or untrusted network paths without header validation middleware
Environment is affected if Triton Inference Server version is below 26.02 AND HTTP/REST API endpoints are directly accessible without protective header validation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped26.02
Apply the vendor-provided patch or update to NVIDIA Triton Inference Server when available. Until then, consider implementing header validation at an upstream proxy or load balancer to filter malformed requests.
26.02 or later
- Backup current Triton Inference Server configuration and data
- Stop the Triton Inference Server service
- Upgrade Triton Inference Server to version 26.02 or later
- Verify the new version is installed correctly (tritonserver --version)
- Restart the Triton Inference Server service
- Test with a valid request to confirm the server is operational
