NVIDIA has issued a security update to address two high-severity vulnerabilities in its NVIDIA Isaac-GROOT software. Isaac-GROOT is an open foundation model for generalized humanoid robot reasoning and skills, positioning this security flaw as a concern for developers and researchers in the rapidly evolving robotics industry.
The flaws, tracked as CVE-2025-33183 and CVE-2025-33184, both stem from a vulnerability within a Python component of the software.
Both vulnerabilities have been assigned a High severity rating with an identical Base Score of 7.8. The root cause is a weakness in a Python component where “an attacker could cause a code injection issue.”
A successful exploit of these flaws could lead to severe consequences, including:
- Code execution.
- Escalation of privileges.
- Information disclosure.
- Data tampering.
The bulletin notes that a “successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering” for both CVEs.
The vulnerabilities affect NVIDIA Isaac-GROOT N1.5 on all platforms. Specifically, the affected versions are “All versions that do not include code commit 7f53666“.
NVIDIA urges all users and developers utilizing the Isaac-GROOT platform to update their software immediately. The fix is included in “Any code branch that includes code commit 7f53666“. Given the potential for unauthorized code execution and privilege escalation, patching is essential to secure ongoing robotics development and deployment projects.
