NVIDIA released critical security updates for its Isaac Launchable platform on December 23, 2025, addressing three severe vulnerabilities that could allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely.
All three flaws carry a maximum CVSS score of 9.8, placing them in the critical severity category and requiring immediate attention from affected organizations.
The security bulletin details three distinct vulnerabilities affecting Isaac Launchable across all platforms and versions before 1.1.
The first vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-33222, stems from a hard-coded credential weakness (CWE-798) embedded within the software.
| CVE ID | Weakness Type | CVSS Score | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2025-33222 | Hard-coded Credentials | 9.8 | Critical |
| CVE-2025-33223 | Execution with Unnecessary Privileges | 9.8 | Critical |
| CVE-2025-33224 | Execution with Unnecessary Privileges | 9.8 | Critical |
This flaw permits attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms and gain unauthorized system access without legitimate credentials, establishing a foothold for further malicious activities.
The remaining two vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-33223 and CVE-2025-33224, both result from the execution of code with unnecessary privileges (CWE-250).
These weaknesses allow attackers to run malicious code with elevated system permissions, expanding the scope of potential damage beyond standard user-level operations.
Such privilege escalation issues are hazardous in enterprise environments where Isaac Launchable may interact with critical robotics or AI simulation infrastructure.
The attack vectors for all three vulnerabilities are network-based and require minimal complexity, allowing attackers to exploit these flaws from remote locations without physical access or complex exploitation techniques.
No user interaction is necessary, significantly lowering the barrier to successful attacks. The unified CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates complete compromise potential across the confidentiality, integrity, and availability dimensions.
Successful exploitation could enable attackers to achieve multiple devastating impacts: unauthorized code execution on affected systems, privilege escalation to administrative or system-level access, denial-of-service attacks rendering the platform unavailable, and data tampering that could corrupt simulations or underlying datasets.
In robotics and AI development contexts, these capabilities pose substantial risks to intellectual property, operational safety, and data integrity.
NVIDIA has patched all three flaws in Isaac Launchable version 1.1, released immediately following the security notice.
The company recommends that all users download and install the latest version from the official GitHub repository without delay.
Organizations utilizing Isaac Launchable should prioritize this update to prevent potential intrusions and maintain system security.
Daniel Teixeira from NVIDIA’s AI Red Team received acknowledgment for reporting these vulnerabilities, demonstrating the importance of coordinated vulnerability disclosure in strengthening NVIDIA’s security posture.
