NVIDIA Nsight Systems contains a vulnerability in the gfx_hotspot recipe, where an attacker could cause an OS command injection by supplying a malicious string to the process_nsys_rep_cli.py script if the script is invoked manually. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, data tampering, denial of service, and information disclosure.

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023NVIDIA-2026-276 advisory.

The version of NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit installed on the remote host is prior to 13.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - NVIDIA Nsight Systems contains a vulnerability in the gfx_hotspot recipe, where an attacker could cause     an OS command injection by supplying a malicious string to the process_nsys_rep_cli.py script if the     script is invoked manually. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution,     escalation of privileges, data tampering, denial of service, and information disclosure. (CVE-2025-33228)

  - NVIDIA Nsight Visual Studio for Windows contains a vulnerability in Nsight Monitor where an attacker can     execute arbitrary code with the same privileges as the NVIDIA Nsight Visual Studio Edition Monitor     application. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to escalation of privileges, code     execution, data tampering, denial of service, and information disclosure. (CVE-2025-33229)

  - NVIDIA Nsight Systems for Linux contains a vulnerability in the .run installer, where an attacker could     cause an OS command injection by supplying a malicious string to the installation path. A successful     exploit of this vulnerability might lead to escalation of privileges, code execution, data tampering,     denial of service, and information disclosure. (CVE-2025-33230)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - NVIDIA Nsight Systems contains a vulnerability in the gfx_hotspot recipe, where an attacker could cause an     OS command injection by supplying a malicious string to the process_nsys_rep_cli.py script if the script     is invoked manually. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation     of privileges, data tampering, denial of service, and information disclosure. (CVE-2025-33228)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
