Summary

  • LocalDatastore.add_image() and LocalDatastore.save_label() now resolve each destination path and check that it stays inside the datastore image/labels directory before writing. A destination on a different drive on Windows (where commonpath raises) is rejected with the same error.
  • The /datastore/image endpoint now normalizes the image ID: only the basename is kept, and empty or dot-prefixed values are rejected with HTTP 400.

Type of change

  • Bug fix

Test plan

  • New unit tests in tests/unit/datastore/test_local_datastore_path_confinement.py check that out-of-directory destinations are rejected for the image ID, the label tag and the label's image ID, and that normal add/save still works.
  • python -m pytest tests/unit/datastore/test_local_datastore_path_confinement.py -v
  • Full unit suite run locally in a clean environment built from requirements-dev.txt, the same way CI runs it (pytest --exitfirst --doctest-modules tests/unit): 174 passed, 2 xfailed.

Pre-existing CI failures fixed in this PR

CI on main was already red for reasons unrelated to this change. Fixing the first layer exposed further failures underneath. Each one is tracked in its own issue:

Issue Problem Fix
#1918 Python 3.9 can't install the requirements: highdicom==0.26.1 needs pydicom>=3.0.1, which needs Python >= 3.10 Removed 3.9 from the deps_check, build and packaging matrices
#1919 SimpleITK (imported by datastore/utils/convert.py) was never declared, so unit-test collection, the docs autodoc build and server start-up from the built wheel all failed. An old system pyOpenSSL paired with cryptography 50 broke the deepedit import chain (module 'lib' has no attribute 'GEN_EMAIL'). huggingface_hub is needed at runtime because MONAI's default monaihosting bundle source downloads through it Added SimpleITK, pyOpenSSL>=26.0.0 and huggingface_hub to both requirements.txt and setup.cfg install_requires (the wheel reads the latter)
#1920 monailabel datasets --download always failed its hash check on MONAI >= 1.6: the md5 digest is passed without a type, and MONAI 1.6 changed the default hash_type to sha256. User-facing bug, not just CI main.py now passes hash_type="md5" explicitly
#1921 MONAI 1.6 NibabelWriter fails on 2D channel-less arrays (Project-MONAI/MONAI#9166), breaking write_nifti Workaround in write_nifti: when there is no target affine, pass the input shape explicitly. Output is identical on MONAI 1.5.1 and 1.6.1
#1921 MONAI 1.6 Spacingd calls .update() on every "<key>_*" entry, so the string image_path that MONAI Label adds to every request raises (Project-MONAI/MONAI#9165). This affects radiology inference on NIfTI Fixed upstream in Project-MONAI/MONAI#9167. The two test_histogram_graphcut_inferer tests are marked non-strict xfail on MONAI >= 1.6, so a fixed MONAI shows XPASS. I checked that both tests pass against the MONAI branch with the fix
#1922 test_convert.py failures that the import error had hidden: the 8 *_itk tests need dcmqi (itkimage2segimage), and test_binary_to_image deleted the same file twice Added dcmqi to requirements-dev.txt (still optional at runtime). Removed the extra os.unlink
#1917 The PyType CI step is a no-op (echo instead of running pytype) Left as is, with a comment linking the issue. Turning it on needs the existing type errors triaged first

OHIF plugin build (not fixed here)

The OHIF Viewer frontend build inside the packaging job fails (patch-package: not found, missing workbox-webpack-plugin), see #1916. setup.py ignores that build's exit code, so the job carries on and builds the wheel without the OHIF static files. The packaging job's own failure was the missing install_requires entries above, not the OHIF build.

With the wheel dependencies fixed, the whole integration suite (./runtests.sh --net, run from the built wheel) passes locally: radiology 12 passed, pathology 3 passed, monaibundle 2 passed + 5 skipped, endoscopy 4 passed + 1 skipped, detection 2 passed.

User-supplied image/label IDs and label tags are concatenated into
filesystem paths by LocalDatastore.add_image() and save_label() without
validation. Resolve each destination and require it to stay inside the
datastore image/labels directory, and sanitize the image ID at the
/datastore/image endpoint by stripping directory components.

Adds regression tests covering traversal via image ID, label tag, and
label image ID.

Walkthrough

The changes validate supplied image IDs and confine local datastore image and label writes. They also update dataset hashing, NIfTI metadata, CI Python versions, dependencies, and test cleanup.

Changes

Datastore Path Confinement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate datastore paths and image IDs
monailabel/endpoints/datastore.py, monailabel/datastore/local.py, tests/unit/datastore/test_local_datastore_path_traversal.py
The endpoint strips directory components from a supplied image ID and returns HTTP 400 for an empty result, ".", "..", or an ID that starts with ".". LocalDatastore checks image destinations against the image directory and label-tag directories and destinations against their allowed directories. Tests cover rejected traversal paths and valid saves.

Decathlon Dataset Download

Layer / File(s) Summary
Set download digest type
monailabel/main.py
The Decathlon dataset download call specifies hash_type="md5" for the published digest.

NIfTI Spatial Metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Write 2D spatial shape metadata
monailabel/transform/writer.py
When original_affine is absent and the input is 2D, write_nifti supplies the input shape as spatial_shape.

CI and Dependency Updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update CI and development support
.github/workflows/pythonapp.yml, requirements.txt, requirements-dev.txt, tests/unit/datastore/test_convert.py
The dependency-check, build, and packaging matrices use Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12. Comments identify the unchanged PyType command as a CI no-op. Requirements add SimpleITK, pyOpenSSL>=26.0.0, and dcmqi. The conversion test removes explicit result-file deletion; registered cleanup remains.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3da00

The changes confine datastore writes, retain Decathlon checksum validation, and provide spatial metadata for 2D NIfTI output. No concrete regression is established; the change appears ready for normal checks.

os.path.commonpath can raise ValueError with a misleading message.

commonpath raises ValueError on Windows when the paths are on different drives. The error text is then not the "Path traversal detected" message. The result is still a rejection, so the behavior is safe. Optionally, compare with os.path.commonpath inside a try block, or use Path.is_relative_to.

- Drop Python 3.9 from CI matrices: highdicom==0.26.1 requires
  pydicom>=3.0.1, and pydicom 3.0.x requires Python>=3.10 (#1918).
- Add SimpleITK and pyOpenSSL>=26.0.0 to requirements.txt: both are
  runtime imports that were undeclared, breaking the build and docs jobs
  (#1919). SimpleITK moved out of requirements-dev.txt accordingly.
- Document the PyType no-op and link it to #1917.

Packaging job (OHIF frontend build) remains broken and is tracked in #1916.

The test registers addCleanup(os.unlink, result) and then also calls
os.unlink(result) at the end, so the cleanup raises FileNotFoundError.
Previously masked because the module failed to import (missing
SimpleITK, #1919).

…TI writer

- main.py: DecathlonDataset publishes md5 digests, but MONAI >= 1.6
  defaults download_and_extract(hash_type=...) to sha256, so
  'monailabel datasets --download' always failed the hash check.
  Pass hash_type='md5' explicitly.
- transform/writer.py: work around a MONAI 1.6 regression where
  NibabelWriter fails on 2D channel-less arrays (spatial_size=None
  reaches fall_back_tuple). When no target affine is given the output
  grid equals the input grid, so passing the input shape explicitly is
  behaviour-preserving (verified identical output on MONAI 1.5.1).
- requirements-dev.txt: add dcmqi (optional at runtime) so the ITK
  DICOM SEG unit tests can run in CI.

MONAI 1.6 Spacingd calls .update() on every '<key>_*' entry, so the
string 'image_path' that MONAI Label adds to every request raises.
Tracked upstream in Project-MONAI/MONAI#9165 with a fix in
Project-MONAI/MONAI#9167. Non-strict xfail so a fixed MONAI reports
XPASS instead of failing.

…nstall_requires

The wheel takes its dependencies from setup.cfg, not requirements.txt,
so the installed package was missing SimpleITK (imported by
datastore/utils/convert.py) and the server failed to start in the
packaging job. huggingface_hub is needed at runtime because MONAI's
default 'monaihosting' bundle source downloads through it, which the
pathology/endoscopy/monaibundle apps do at startup.
