It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-23298 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NVIDIA Merlin Transformers4Rec. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23298/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23298/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-23298","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23298/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-23298","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9xw2-c8rr-fh9q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation","data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NVIDIA Merlin Transformers4Rec","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject code into NVIDIA Merlin Transformers4Rec via a vulnerable Python dependency, leading to code execution and privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"nvidia","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"NVIDIA Merlin Transformers4Rec for all platforms contains a vulnerability in a python dependency, where an attacker could cause a code injection issue.
