CVSS Scores
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System is a standardized framework for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities in software and systems. We collect and displays CVSS scores from various sources for each CVE.
Score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Score Impact Score Source
CVSS 3.1 CRITICAL 7d14cffa-0d7d-4270-9dc0-52cabd5a23a6
CVSS 4.0 HIGH 7d14cffa-0d7d-4270-9dc0-52cabd5a23a6
Solution
Sanitize DICOM dataset inputs to prevent file path manipulation and unauthorized writes.
  • Validate and sanitize all user-supplied DICOM data.
  • Avoid using user input directly in file path operations.
  • Implement strict input validation for file operations.
  • Update the qrscp application to the latest version.
