NVIDIA GeForce Experience < 3.23.0 Insecure Sessions

high Nessus Plugin ID 151287

Language:

Synopsis

A GPU companion application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

NVIDIA GeForce Experience, all versions prior to 3.23, contains a vulnerability where, if a user clicks on a maliciously formatted link that opens the GeForce Experience login page in a new browser tab instead of the GeForce Experience application and enters their login information, the malicious site can get access to the token of the user login session. Such an attack may lead to these targeted users' data being accessed, altered, or lost.

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

Solution

Update to NVIDIA GeForce Experience version 3.23.0 or later.
