CVE-2026-25966: ImageMagick

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. The shipped "secure" security policy includes a rule intended to prevent reading/writing from standard streams. However, ImageMagick also supports fd:<n> pseudo-filenames (e.g., fd:0, fd:1). Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, this path form is not blocked by the secure policy templates, and therefore bypasses the protection goal of "no stdin/stdout." Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch by including a change to the more secure policies by default. As a workaround, add the change to one's security policy manually.

Affected products

• ImageMagick ImageMagick: before 6.9.13-40 (fixed in 6.9.13-40); from 7.0.0-0, before 7.1.2-15 (fixed in 7.1.2-15)
