CVE-2026-24218
NVIDIA DGX SSH Key Cloning Vulnerability
Description

NVIDIA DGX OS contains a vulnerability in the factory provisioning process, where the cloning of a base image causes identical SSH host keys to be deployed across multiple systems. The sharing of cryptographic identifiers across all similarly provisioned systems enables host impersonation or attacker-in-the-middle attacks. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, data tampering, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and denial of service.

Solution
Ensure unique SSH host keys are generated for each system during provisioning.
  • Regenerate SSH host keys on each affected system.
  • Implement unique key generation for future deployments.
  • Review system provisioning scripts for SSH key handling.
