CVE-2024-44825Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary file write via unchecked tar paths

Published Sep 25, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2026

Path traversal in InVesalius 3.1.99995 allows attackers to write arbitrary files by supplying a crafted .inv3 project archive. The Extract function in invesalius/project.py joins each untrusted tar member name to the temporary extraction directory without rejecting parent-path components. The file must be imported or opened by the desktop client; successful traversal writes attacker-chosen content with the user's file permissions.
