How to fix this CVE

Update NVIDIA Triton Inference Server's Python backend to version 25.07 or later to patch the out-of-bounds read vulnerability in shared memory handling. This vulnerability could allow remote attackers to read sensitive data from memory. Apply the update immediately if you are running Triton on production systems that expose the inference API.

sudo dnf update python3

Defensia detects this vulnerability

How to check if you are affected

  1. Step 1: Check Python version with `python3 --version` to confirm installed release
  2. Step 2: Verify Triton Inference Server version by running `tritonserver --version` or checking `/opt/tritonserver/VERSION` file
  3. Step 3: Review Triton logs for memory access errors: `grep -i 'out-of-bounds\|memory\|segfault' /var/log/triton/*.log`
  4. Step 4: After patching, re-run `tritonserver --version` and confirm no memory-related warnings appear in startup logs

FAQ

What is CVE-2025-23333?

CVE-2025-23333 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in NVIDIA Triton Inference Server's Python backend that allows attackers to manipulate shared memory and read adjacent memory regions, potentially exposing sensitive data without authentication.

Is CVE-2025-23333 being actively exploited?

No, this vulnerability is not currently listed on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog and no public exploits are available.

What versions of Python are affected by CVE-2025-23333?

All versions of NVIDIA Triton Inference Server with Python backend support up to version 25.06 are vulnerable; version 25.07 and later contain the fix.

How do I check if my server is vulnerable to CVE-2025-23333?

Run `tritonserver --version` and compare the version number. If it is below 25.07, your installation is vulnerable. Also confirm Python3 is installed with `python3 --version`.

Does Defensia detect CVE-2025-23333?

Yes — Defensia's CVE advisory scanner compares installed package versions against the NVD database. If Python is installed on a monitored server, CVE-2025-23333 will appear in your dashboard with remediation steps.

CVE-2026-25632CVSS 10EPyT-Flow is a Python package designed for the easy generation of hydraulic and water quality scenario data of water distribution networks. Prior to 0.16.1, EPyT-Flow’s REST API parses attacker-controlled JSON request bodies using a custom deserializer (my_load_from_json) that supports a type field. When type is present, the deserializer dynamically imports an attacker-specified module/class and instantiates it with attacker-supplied arguments. This allows invoking dangerous classes such as subprocess.Popen, which can lead to OS command execution during JSON parsing. This also affects the loading of JSON files. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.16.1.
CVE-2026-34938CVSS 10PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to version 1.5.90, execute_code() in praisonai-agents runs attacker-controlled Python inside a three-layer sandbox that can be fully bypassed by passing a str subclass with an overridden startswith() method to the _safe_getattr wrapper, achieving arbitrary OS command execution on the host. This issue has been patched in version 1.5.90.
CVE-2026-33054CVSS 10Mesop is a Python-based UI framework that allows users to build web applications. Versions 1.2.2 and below contain a Path Traversal vulnerability that allows any user supplying an untrusted state_token through the UI stream payload to arbitrarily target files on the disk under the standard file-based runtime backend. This can result in application denial of service (via crash loops when reading non-msgpack target files as configurations), or arbitrary file manipulation. This vulnerability heavily exposes systems hosted utilizing FileStateSessionBackend. Unauthorized malicious actors could interact with arbitrary payloads overwriting or explicitly removing underlying service resources natively outside the application bounds. This issue has been fixed in version 1.2.3.
CVE-2026-28505CVSS 10Tautulli is a Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server. Prior to version 2.17.0, the str_eval() function in notification_handler.py implements a sandboxed eval() for notification text templates. The sandbox attempts to restrict callable names by inspecting code.co_names of the compiled code object. However, co_names only contains names from the outer code object. When a lambda expression is used, it creates a nested code object whose attribute accesses are stored in code.co_consts, NOT in code.co_names. The sandbox never inspects nested code objects. This issue has been patched in version 2.17.0.
CVE-2026-26030CVSS 9.9Semantic Kernel, Microsoft's semantic kernel Python SDK, has a remote code execution vulnerability in versions prior to 1.39.4, specifically within the `InMemoryVectorStore` filter functionality. The problem has been fixed in version `python-1.39.4`. Users should upgrade this version or higher. As a workaround, avoid using `InMemoryVectorStore` for production scenarios.
