CVE-2026-24228
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 NeMo Framework for Linux contains a vulnerability where an attacker may cause deserialization of untrusted data. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, data tampering, and information disclosure.
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 NeMo Framework for Linux contains a deserialization vulnerability where untrusted data is deserialized without proper validation. This insecure deserialization could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, tamper with data, or disclose sensitive information.

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.
-
Check installed NeMo versionRun 'pip show nemo-guardrail' or 'pip show nemo' and look for the Version field, or check the version in your requirements.txt / environment manifestAffected if The installed version is lower than 2.7.3 (e.g., 2.7.0, 2.6.0, etc.)
-
Locate pickle deserialization callsSearch project code for 'pickle.load' or 'pickle.loads' patterns, especially where input comes from external sources, network endpoints, or user-provided filesAffected if Code uses pickle.load or pickle.loads to deserialize untrusted data without prior validation
-
Locate unsafe YAML deserializationSearch project code for 'yaml.load' calls, especially those without the 'Loader=yaml.SafeLoader' or 'yaml.safe_load' parameterAffected if Code uses yaml.load with unsafe loaders or without explicit safe loading
-
Check data intake pointsInspect API endpoints, file upload handlers, or message queues that accept serialized objects, and verify if incoming data is validated before deserializationAffected if The application accepts serialized data from untrusted sources without performing input validation or schema checking first
You are affected if NeMo version is below 2.7.3 AND your deployment uses pickle, yaml.load, or similar unsafe deserialization on data from untrusted or external sources without validation.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped2.7.3
Replace unsafe deserialization methods (e.g., pickle, yaml.load) with safe alternatives (json, yaml.safe_load) and implement strict input validation before deserialization.
Nemo version 2.7.3 or later
- 1. Identify the current Nemo Framework version installed on the system
- 2. Upgrade Nemo Framework to version 2.7.3 or later to resolve the deserialization vulnerability
- 3. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the installed version
- 4. Test that dependent applications and workflows function correctly after the upgrade
