Summary
MONAI before 1.6.1 contains an insufficient integrity verification vulnerability in check_hash() that silently returns True when hash_val is None, with MD5 as the default hash type. Attackers performing man-in-the-middle or registry compromise can substitute bundles, datasets, or model archives downloaded without hashes, enabling malicious file delivery and potential code execution.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: Added CPE configurations because not yet analyzed by NVD.
