Detection Guidance

The vulnerability requires local access to the NVIDIA NeMo Framework and involves improper control of code generation (code injection). Detection would typically involve checking for the presence and version of the NVIDIA NeMo Framework on your system.

Since the vulnerability is local and related to code injection, network detection methods are limited. Instead, you should verify if the vulnerable software is installed and check for suspicious local activity or unexpected code execution within the NeMo Framework environment.

Specific commands to detect the vulnerability are not provided in the available resources.
