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.
