Invesalius versions 3.1.99991 through 3.1.99998 suffer from a remote code execution vulnerability. The exploitation steps of this vulnerability involve the use of a specifically crafted DICOM file which, once imported inside the victim’s client application, allows an attacker to gain remote code execution.
