CISA disclosed a vulnerability in Medixant RadiAnt DICOM, a medical imaging viewer used worldwide across healthcare and public health organizations. The flaw, CVE-2026-17264, stems from improper handling of JPEG-compressed pixel data within DICOM files, triggering an attacker-controlled heap out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) that could allow remote code execution or application crash when a maliciously crafted file is opened.
Affected versions are RadiAnt DICOM 2025.2 and earlier. Medixant, headquartered in Poland, has released version 2026.1 to address the issue. Built-in exploit mitigations such as CFG, DEP, and ASLR reduce practical exploitability, and CISA notes no known public exploitation targeting this vulnerability at this time. Organizations should update promptly, avoid opening DICOM files from untrusted sources, and follow standard ICS network segmentation and remote access hardening practices.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
