When it comes to cybersecurity, you can never be too careful.
Furthermore, when we talk about backdoors (or alleged ones), the question that follows is: who inserted them?
Was it for maintenance purposes or for other ulterior motives?
But weren’t the United States talking about backdoors inserted into Chinese products?
But now that the US has unblocked the use of NVIDIA technology towards China?
So many questions, so many doubts that mix between technologies and geopolitics.
But getting back to the technical details, GPU giant NVIDIA has just released an urgent security update for its Isaac Launchable software. Three critical vulnerabilities, all with a CVSS score of 9.8, threatened to compromise the security of affected systems, and only an update can fix the problem.
The GPU giant has disclosed three separate flaws: CVE-2025-33222, CVE-2025-33223, and CVE-2025-33224, which signal a danger to robotics and artificial intelligence development environments.
According to the advisory released by NVIDIA , “Isaac Launchable contains a vulnerability that could allow an attacker to exploit a hard-coded credentials issue.”
The vulnerabilities affect all versions of the software prior to the new version 1.1, exposing users to risks ranging from remote code execution to data tampering.
A highly critical security flaw, identified as CVE-2025-33222, involves a classic but potentially devastating security flaw: the use of hard-coded credentials. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to completely bypass the authentication system using credentials directly embedded in the software code. “Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to code execution, privilege escalation, denial of service, and data tampering.”
Users running versions prior to 1.1 are vulnerable and should immediately upgrade to version 1.1 to close these critical security gaps.
The remaining two vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-33223 and CVE-2025-33224, arise from improper privilege management. These flaws allow an attacker to trigger executions with permissions higher than necessary.
Given the “Critical” status and the wide scope of potential damage, NVIDIA strongly recommends that all users install the patch as soon as possible. On all platforms, the vulnerabilities relate to Isaac Launchable.
Like the hard-coded credentials flaw, these issues can lead to complete system compromise. The potential consequences are broad and include “code execution, privilege escalation, denial of service, information disclosure, and data tampering.”
