CVE-2026-47518
Status: Awaiting AnalysisMedium (6)—
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in a secure microcontroller component, where incorrect permission assignment for a critical resource allows an attacker with privileged local access to modify protected memory that should be restricted. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution and escalation of privileges.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L
- Base score: 6
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.12%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 2
- Score date: 10/5/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
