• Severity: low (CVSS 3.6 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.1% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-10-12 · updated 2026-10-29
• Weakness: CWE-59

Description

ImageMagick before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33 does not properly account for symbolic links in the IsRightsAuthorizedByName security policy check, allowing configured policy restrictions to be bypassed. Local attackers who can create a symlink can point it at a policy-restricted path to evade the configured policy.

Affected products

• ImageMagick: from 7.0.0 before 7.1.2-33 — fixed in 7.1.2-33

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: ImageMagick 7.1.2-33. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
