Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
๐จ **Essence**: InVesalius (v3.1.99991-3.1.99998) suffers from **Eval Injection** via DICOM files.โฆ
๐ก๏ธ **Root Cause**: **Eval Injection**. The software fails to sanitize input when processing DICOM files, allowing code execution commands to be injected and evaluated by the application engine.
Q3Who is affected? (Versions/Components)
๐ฅ **Affected**: Users of **InVesalius 3.1.99991 through 3.1.99998**. This is an open-source 3D medical imaging reconstruction software. ๐ฅ๏ธ Tested primarily on **Windows**.
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
๐ **Attacker Capabilities**: **Remote Code Execution (RCE)**. Hackers gain the same privileges as the user running InVesalius. They can run any command, install malware, or steal sensitive medical data. ๐
Q5Is exploitation threshold high? (Auth/Config)
๐ **Exploitation Threshold**: **Low**. No authentication is required. The attack vector is **Social Engineering**: simply getting the victim to open a crafted `.dcm` (DICOM) file is enough to trigger the exploit. ๐ฃ
Q6Is there a public Exp? (PoC/Wild Exploitation)
๐ฅ **Public Exploit**: **YES**. POCs and exploits are publicly available on GitHub (e.g., `partywavesec/invesalius3_vulnerabilities`). Wild exploitation is highly likely given the ease of delivery. โ ๏ธ
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
๐ **Self-Check**: 1. Check your InVesalius version (must be between 3.1.99991 and 3.1.99998). 2. Scan for suspicious DICOM files in your inbox. 3.โฆ
๐ฉน **Official Fix**: The vendor (InVesalius) has released updates. Check the [official GitHub releases](https://github.com/invesalius/invesalius3/releases) for the patched version. Update immediately! ๐ฅ
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
๐ง **No Patch Workaround**: **Do not open DICOM files** from untrusted sources. If you must use the vulnerable version, run it in a **sandboxed environment** or **VM** to isolate potential code execution. ๐
Q10Is it urgent? (Priority Suggestion)
๐จ **Urgency**: **CRITICAL**. High severity due to **RCE** and **easy exploitation** via file opening. Immediate patching or isolation is required for all medical professionals using this software. ๐ฅ
