CVE-2026-86424: ImageMagick

Low severity, CVSS 2.5. EPSS: 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55 contains a time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability in the video decoder that allows attackers to bypass path policy write restrictions via symlink swaps. An attacker can replace a symlink between policy validation (check-time) and the file write operation (use-time) to write to policy-denied locations.

Affected products

• ImageMagick ImageMagick: before 6.9.13-55 (fixed in 6.9.13-55); from 7.0.0-0, before 7.1.2-30 (fixed in 7.1.2-30)
