CVE-2024-44825
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedDirectory Traversal vulnerability in Centro de Tecnologia da Informaco Renato Archer InVesalius3 v3.1.99995 allows attackers to write arbitrary files unto the system via a crafted .inv3 file.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceDirectory traversal vulnerability in InVesalius3 v3.1.99995 allows attackers to write arbitrary files to the system via a crafted .inv3 file. The software fails to properly validate or sanitize file paths within the .inv3 file format during parsing, enabling path traversal characters to write files outside the intended directory.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify InVesalius3 installation versionLocate the InVesalius3 application on the system and check its version information. This is typically found in the application (Help > About), the executable file properties, or the installation directory metadata.Affected if The installed version matches v3.1.99995 or falls within the affected version range around this release.
-
Verify .inv3 file processing capabilityConfirm that the InVesalius3 installation includes functionality to import or open .inv3 project files. This is the feature that contains the vulnerable code path.Affected if The system has the ability to parse .inv3 files as part of the InVesalius3 workflow.
-
Check for recent .inv3 file activityReview any recent .inv3 files that have been opened or processed by the InVesalius3 installation. Examine the file origin and whether it originated from an untrusted source.Affected if Untrusted or externally-sourced .inv3 files have been opened with the affected InVesalius3 version.
A system is affected if it runs InVesalius3 version v3.1.99995 (or a comparable vulnerable version) and has processed .inv3 files, particularly from untrusted sources.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement strict input validation and path sanitization when processing .inv3 files, ensuring path traversal sequences are blocked and files can only be written to expected directories. Users should avoid opening untrusted .inv3 files until the patch is applied.
