CVE-2026-105083: ImageMagick before 7.1.2-32 and 6.9.13-57 Security Policy Bypass via policy.xml DOCTYPE

• Severity: medium (CVSS 4.2 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: 2026-10-03 · updated 2026-10-14
• Weakness: CWE-693

Description

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-32 and 6.9.13-57 contains a policy bypass vulnerability in LoadPolicyCache that silently skips security policy rules when policy.xml uses an alternate DOCTYPE. A valid DOCTYPE not ending in ']>' makes the parser consume the rest of the file, so no policy rules are applied and restricted operations become allowed.

Affected products

• ImageMagick: before 6.9.13-57; from 7.0.0-0 before 7.1.2-32 — fixed in 6.9.13-57, 7.1.2-32

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: ImageMagick 6.9.13-57, 7.1.2-32. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
