NVIDIA Corporation has released an urgent security update for its Omniverse Launcher software, addressing a significant information disclosure vulnerability that could expose sensitive user data through log files.
The vulnerability, designated CVE-2025-23289, affects all versions of the NVIDIA Omniverse Launcher before and including version 1.9.18 across Windows and Linux platforms.
Vulnerability Details and Impact Assessment
The security flaw resides within the launcher’s logging mechanism, where malicious actors could potentially exploit proxy server configurations to cause sensitive information to be inadvertently written to system log files.
According to NVIDIA’s security bulletin, this CWE-532 classified vulnerability represents a clear case of information exposure through log files, a common but serious security concern in enterprise software environments.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.5, categorizing it as medium severity with the attack vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N.
This scoring indicates that while the attack requires local access and low-level privileges, it presents a high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability concerns.
The attack complexity is rated as low, meaning exploitation is relatively straightforward once an attacker gains the necessary access permissions.
Security researchers emphasize that information disclosure vulnerabilities, while not immediately catastrophic, can serve as stepping stones for more sophisticated attacks.
The exposed data in log files could potentially include authentication tokens, configuration details, or other sensitive information that adversaries might leverage for lateral movement within compromised systems.
Technical Assessment and Risk Factors
The vulnerability’s CWE-532 classification specifically relates to information exposure through log files, a category that encompasses various scenarios where applications inadvertently record sensitive data in accessible log files.
In enterprise environments utilizing NVIDIA Omniverse for collaborative design workflows, this could potentially expose proprietary project information, user credentials, or network configuration details.
NVIDIA’s Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) conducted comprehensive risk assessments across diverse system configurations.
However, the company explicitly notes that its average risk evaluation may not accurately reflect the specific threat level for individual installations, particularly in high-security environments or organizations handling classified information.
Remediation and Security Recommendations
Users must immediately upgrade to NVIDIA Omniverse Launcher version 1.9.19, which contains comprehensive patches addressing the CVE-2025-23289 vulnerability.
The security update is available through the official Omniverse Launcher Overview Page, and NVIDIA strongly recommends prioritizing this installation across all affected systems.
Organizations should conduct thorough audits of existing log files to identify potentially compromised information and implement enhanced logging policies moving forward. NVIDIA acknowledges security researcher Yash Kundlik Jare for responsibly disclosing this vulnerability through proper channels.
The company advises users to subscribe to their Product Security bulletin notifications to remain informed about future security updates and maintain robust cybersecurity postures across all NVIDIA software deployments.
