Multiple NVIDIA Flaws Allow Attackers to Escalate Privileges on Systems

NVIDIA has released a critical security update addressing multiple vulnerabilities in its NVIDIA App software, which could allow attackers to escalate privileges on Windows systems.

NVIDIA has released a critical security update addressing multiple vulnerabilities in its NVIDIA App software, which could allow attackers to escalate privileges on Windows systems.

The vulnerabilities, resolved in the September 2025 update, are due to improper file handling during the installation of Frameview SDK components.

Users of NVIDIA App on Windows 10 and 11 are advised to install version 11.0.5.245 or later to secure their systems.

The primary vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-23297, exists in the NVIDIA Installer for NvAPP on Windows.

During the Frameview SDK installation process, an unprivileged local user could modify files within the Frameview SDK directory.

Exploitation of this vulnerability could enable an attacker to gain elevated privileges, potentially leading to full system compromise.

Local unprivileged access is required to execute the exploit. No user interaction is needed once local access is obtained. A successful attack can compromise system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability was reported by Dong-uk Kim and JunYoung Park of KAIST Hacking Lab.

The vulnerabilities, resolved in the September 2025 update, are due to improper file handling during the installation of Frameview SDK components.
