CVE-2026-116140: ImageMagick before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33 Policy Bypass via Delegate Invocation Parsing

• Severity: low (CVSS 3.3 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: 2026-10-25 · updated 2026-10-26
• Weakness: CWE-863

Description

ImageMagick before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33 incorrectly parses delegate invocations, which can allow an executable blocked in policy.xml to still run. An attacker who gets ImageMagick to process input that triggers a delegate invocation can bypass the administrator-defined policy and execute the blocked program.

Affected products

• ImageMagick: from 7.0.0-0 before 7.1.2-33; before 6.9.13-58 — fixed in 6.9.13-58, 7.1.2-33

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: ImageMagick 6.9.13-58, 7.1.2-33. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
