Weakness	CWE CWE-125 OWASP Top 10:2025 A06:2021 - Vulnerable and Outdated Components ASVS 5.0 V15 - Secure Coding and Architecture Bounds checking, read limits MITRE ATT&CK 1 technique across 1 tactic: Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. Sign in to read
Exploitation Conditions	ImageMagick versions prior to 7.1.2-16 or 6.9.13-41 with DIB format support enabled. Attacker must supply crafted DIB image with integer overflow payload to vulnerable coder. High complexity exploitation requires precise memory layout knowledge.
Impact	Severity: High (8.1/10.0) Very low exploitation probability (EPSS: 0.00045, 13.6th percentile) HIGH RISK: Remotely exploitable without authentication — internet-facing instances are directly vulnerable No patch confirmed yet — monitor vendor channels for updates and consider mitigations
Exploit ScenarioDerived	This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication or user interaction, making it suitable for automated scanning and mass exploitation. Exploitation can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, potentially exposing user data, credentials, or internal system details.

HIGH 8.1

DescriptionCVE.org

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41, an integer overflow in DIB coder can result in out of bounds read or write. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-28693 is a high-severity vulnerability in ImageMagick that could allow attackers to read or write memory outside intended bounds through specially crafted image files. Organizations using ImageMagick for image processing face potential data exposure, system compromise, or service disruption if this vulnerability is exploited.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

Disable DIB image format support in ImageMagick configuration if not required for operations; implement strict file upload validation (whitelist allowed image formats, enforce file size limits); process images in isolated containers with limited privileges and memory; deploy WAF rules to block suspicious image file uploads; restrict ImageMagick service to internal networks only; monitor process execution for memory access anomalies.

Attack Technique

Buffer Overflow HIGH

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Information Disclosure MEDIUM

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
