Memory Corruption in ImageMagick via CUT Encoder

Publication date: 2026-10-07

Last updated on: 2026-10-07

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to 7.1.2-31 and 6.9.13-56, a missing security-policy check in the CUT encoder allows a crafted local encoding operation to read data that policy should deny and can also cause a crash. This issue is fixed in versions 7.1.2-31 and 6.9.13-56.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in ImageMagick involves a missing security-policy check in the CUT encoder. It allows a crafted local encoding operation to read data that should be denied by policy and may cause a crash. The issue affects versions prior to 7.1.2-31 and 6.9.13-56.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check the installed version of ImageMagick on your system. Run the command 'convert --version' or 'magick --version' to see the version number. If the version is below 7.1.2-31 or 6.9.13-56, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with local access could exploit this to read restricted data or crash the application. The attack requires local access, has high complexity, and does not need privileges or user interaction. Impact includes low confidentiality loss and low availability loss.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could potentially lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data due to missing policy checks, which may violate compliance requirements under GDPR and HIPAA that mandate strict access controls and data protection measures.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update ImageMagick to version 7.1.2-31 or later for ImageMagick 7, or to version 6.9.13-56 or later for ImageMagick 6. This can typically be done via your package manager, such as 'apt-get upgrade imagemagick' on Debian-based systems or 'yum update ImageMagick' on RHEL-based systems.
