Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for pydicom.

CVE-2026-32711[0]:
| pydicom is a pure Python package for working with DICOM files.
| Versions 2.0.0-rc.1 through 3.0.1 are vulnerable to Path Traversal
| through a maliciously crafted DICOMDIR ReferencedFileID when it is
| set to a path outside the File-set root. pydicom resolves the path
| only to confirm that it exists, but does not verify that the
| resolved path remains under the File-set root. Subsequent public
| FileSet operations such as copy(), write(), and
| remove()+write(use_existing=True) use that unchecked path in file
| I/O operations. This allows arbitrary file read/copy and, in some
| flows, move/delete outside the File-set root. This issue has been
| fixed in version 3.0.2.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
