CVE-2026-100843 — Project-MONAI
HIGHCVE-2026-100843 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.8) Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability. No vendor fix is recorded yet; mitigation options are listed below.
MONAI versions before 1.6.0 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the algo_from_pickle() function due to unsafe pickle.loads() deserialization in monai/auto3dseg/utils.py.…
Description
MONAI versions before 1.6.0 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the algo_from_pickle() function due to unsafe pickle.loads() deserialization in monai/auto3dseg/utils.py. Attackers can craft malicious pickle files that execute arbitrary system commands when deserialized by the vulnerable function.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`). Because remote code execution targets the running service rather than your application code, O3 also flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic.
Remediation status
No fixed release is recorded for CVE-2026-100843 yet. Track the upstream advisory, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Do not deserialise data from untrusted sources: where the format allows it, restrict deserialisation to an explicit allowlist of expected types, and prefer a data-only format (JSON, Protobuf) over one that can reconstruct arbitrary objects until you can upgrade. O3's runtime protection blocks the deserialization of untrusted data flaw at execution, which holds the line on hosts you cannot patch immediately.
How O3 protects you
O3 detects and blocks CVE-2026-100843 exploitation at runtime with eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches a post-exploitation callback and cuts the attacker's outbound channel.
Tailored to CVE-2026-100843. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
