NVIDIA has recently identified two critical code injection vulnerabilities within its Isaac-GR00T robotics platform, designated as CVE-2025-33183 and CVE-2025-33184. These flaws reside in the platform’s Python components and could enable authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, and modify system data. Such vulnerabilities pose significant risks to organizations utilizing NVIDIA’s robotics solutions in sectors like industrial automation, research, and autonomous systems.
Vulnerability Details
Both vulnerabilities have been assigned a high Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score of 7.8, reflecting their severity. They affect all versions of NVIDIA Isaac-GR00T N1.5 across all platforms. An attacker with local access and minimal privileges could exploit these vulnerabilities without user interaction, potentially gaining full control over the system.
CVE-2025-33183 and CVE-2025-33184
– Description: Code injection vulnerabilities in Python components allowing arbitrary code execution.
– CVSS Score: 7.8
– CWE Classification: CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code)
– Attack Vector: Local access with low privileges
Exploitation of these vulnerabilities could lead to unauthorized code execution, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and data modification, thereby compromising the integrity of critical robotic operations. The root cause lies in the improper handling of user-supplied input within the Python components, a common issue in interpreted code environments.
Mitigation Measures
NVIDIA has released a software update to address these vulnerabilities. The patch is available through GitHub commit 7f53666 of the Isaac-GR00T repository. Organizations using Isaac-GR00T should promptly update to any code branch that includes this specific commit to mitigate the risk.
System administrators are advised to prioritize the deployment of this security update across all Isaac-GR00T installations. Given the high severity and potential for critical system compromise, NVIDIA recommends treating this update as an urgent priority.
For organizations unable to apply the patch immediately, it is recommended to restrict local access to affected systems and monitor for any suspicious activity. NVIDIA’s Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) continues to monitor for exploitation attempts.
These vulnerabilities were responsibly disclosed by Peter Girnus of Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative, underscoring the importance of coordinated vulnerability research.
