WID-SEC-2026-1574 · first 19.05.2026 · updated 16.07.2026 · CVSS 5,7
What it is about
ImageMagick ist eine Sammlung von Programmbibliotheken und Werkzeugen, die Grafiken in zahlreichen Formaten verarbeiten kann. Ein lokaler Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in ImageMagick ausnutzen, um einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen oder vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen.
Under what conditions?
Only with access to the device or an account on it. Often the second step after a phishing email.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen oder vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen
Am I affected?
Affected according to the BSI:
- Debian Linux
- Amazon Linux 2
- SUSE Linux
- SUSE openSUSE
- Open Source ImageMagick <7.1.2-23
- Open Source ImageMagick <6.9.13-48
The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.
What helps?
Update to at least:
- Open Source ImageMagick 7.1.2-23
- Open Source ImageMagick 6.9.13-48
Is the vulnerability already being exploited?
None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
