CVE-2026-97851 Details
Description
The storage status-change REST service allows location records still associated with DICOM instances to be changed to deletion-related states. Changing a location to TO_DELETE causes PurgeStorageScheduler to delete the referenced object from storage even though the corresponding instance record remains in the database.
A vulnerability exists in the J4Care dcm4che storage status-change REST service, specifically in version 5.35.1. This service allows location records linked to DICOM instances to be improperly changed to deletion-related states. When a location is set to 'TO_DELETE', the PurgeStorageScheduler deletes the associated object from storage, even though the corresponding instance record remains in the database. This could lead to the unauthorized deletion of medical images while leaving the database records intact.
J4Care has released a patch for this vulnerability. Users are advised to update to version 5.35.2 or later.
