CVE-2026-47479
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 for Linux contains a vulnerability where an attacker can cause uncontrolled resource consumption. 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 for Linux contains a vulnerability allowing an attacker to cause uncontrolled resource consumption, potentially leading to denial of service.

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 if Triton Inference Server is installedRun command: which tritonserver OR docker ps | grep triton OR ps aux | grep triton to find running instancesAffected if Triton Inference Server is found running on the system
-
Determine installed Triton versionRun: tritonserver --version OR check docker image tag OR inspect /opt/triton/bin/tritonserver --version outputAffected if Installed version matches or falls within an affected version range (compare to CVE published vulnerable versions)
-
Verify network exposure of Triton serviceCheck if port 8000 (default gRPC), 8001 (HTTP), or 8002 (metrics) is listening on non-loopback interfaces using: netstat -tlnp | grep -E '800[0-9]' OR ss -tlnp | grep -E '800[0-9]'Affected if Triton ports are bound to 0.0.0.0 or exposed externally without network access controls
-
Monitor for abnormal resource consumptionObserve CPU, memory, and network I/O for Triton processes using: top -p $(pgrep tritonserver) OR docker stats <container_id> while under inference loadAffected if Resource usage spikes abnormally high or fails to scale down after requests complete
-
Check for rate limiting on inference endpointsReview Triton configuration files and proxy/load balancer settings for rate-limit rules on inference endpoints (port 8000/8001)Affected if No rate limiting is configured and service is network-accessible
User is affected if Triton Inference Server is running with a vulnerable version exposed to network without rate limiting or access controls, and exhibiting abnormal resource consumption patterns.

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.
From vendor dataImplement network-level access controls to limit exposure of the Triton Inference Server, apply rate limiting on inference endpoints, and monitor for abnormal resource usage patterns. Await NVIDIA's official patch and apply it when available.
