CVE-2026-24241
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 Delegated Licensing Service for all appliance platforms contains a vulnerability where an attacker could exploit an improper authentication issue. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to 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 Delegated Licensing Service contains an improper authentication vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive information. The vulnerability exists in the authentication mechanism of the licensing service on appliance platforms, potentially exposing license keys, configuration data, or usage metrics.

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 the installed version of NVIDIA Delegated Licensing ServiceUse the system package manager, software inventory tool, or check the licensing service's built-in version command (such as 'dlm --version' or viewing the About/Version information in the service administrative interface)Affected if The installed version is less than 3.1.8, or falls within the range 3.2.0 to 3.5.x (inclusive)
-
Confirm the licensing service is runningCheck if the NVIDIA Delegated Licensing Service process is active on the system using process listing tools or service management commandsAffected if The service is running and the version falls within the affected ranges identified in step 1
-
Determine network exposure of the licensing serviceReview firewall rules, network configuration, or port bindings to identify whether the licensing service port (typically port 7070 or as configured) is accessible from untrusted networks or the internetAffected if The licensing service port is exposed to untrusted network segments without additional authentication layers such as VPN or IP allow-listing
-
Verify authentication configurationExamine the licensing service configuration files or administrative interface to confirm whether the built-in authentication mechanism is properly enforced and not bypassedAffected if The authentication mechanism is disabled, misconfigured, or can be bypassed, allowing unauthenticated access to sensitive license data
A user is affected if the installed NVIDIA Delegated Licensing Service version is below 3.1.8 or between 3.2.0 and 3.5.x, AND the service is network-accessible without adequate authentication controls.

dbcve · scoped3.1.83.6.0
Apply vendor-provided patches or updates to the NVIDIA Delegated Licensing Service. If no patch is available, restrict network access to the licensing service and implement additional authentication layers such as VPN or IP allow-listing.
Upgrade to version 3.1.8 or later, or version 3.6.0 or later
- Identify the current version of NVIDIA Delegated License Service running in your environment
- Download the fixed version of Delegated License Service (version 3.1.8 or later, or version 3.6.0 or later) from the official NVIDIA licensing portal or support website
- Review the NVIDIA upgrade documentation for Delegated License Service before proceeding
- Stop the Delegated License Service gracefully to ensure no active license operations are interrupted
- Backup the current configuration and license data following NVIDIA's backup procedures
- Install the upgraded Delegated License Service version
- Verify the installation was successful and the service starts properly
- Confirm the new version matches one of the fixed releases (>= 3.1.8 or >= 3.6.0)
