DescriptionCVE.org

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-51 and 7.1.2-26, the MNG decoder contains a possible heap information disclosure vulnerability because part of the pixels are left unchanged. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-51 and 7.1.2-26.

AnalysisAI

Heap memory disclosure in ImageMagick's MNG decoder affects all versions prior to 6.9.13-51 (legacy branch) and 7.1.2-26 (current branch), allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain partial heap contents by submitting a crafted MNG image file and retrieving the processed output. The root cause (CWE-908) is that pixel buffers are not fully initialized before output is written, leaving residual in-process heap data embedded in the resulting image. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Submit crafted MNG image to processing endpoint
Delivery
MNG decoder allocates uninitialized pixel buffer
Exploit
Stale heap contents persist in output pixels
Execution
Attacker retrieves processed image output
Impact
Parse anomalous pixel regions to extract heap data

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three conditions: (1) the target application must accept MNG-format image files as input and pass them to a vulnerable ImageMagick version (prior to 6.9.13-51 or 7.1.2-26); (2) the attacker must be able to retrieve the processed output image, since blind processing pipelines negate the disclosure; and (3) the network path to the processing endpoint must be accessible to the attacker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N (5.3 Medium) correctly reflects a network-reachable, zero-authentication flaw with limited and scoped impact: only partial confidentiality loss, no integrity or availability consequences. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker submits a specially crafted MNG image to a publicly accessible image conversion or preview service backed by a vulnerable ImageMagick version. The MNG decoder processes the file, leaving uninitialized heap bytes embedded in the output pixel data. …
Remediation Upgrade ImageMagick to version 6.9.13-51 or later on the 6.x branch, or to version 7.1.2-26 or later on the 7.x branch, per the vendor security advisory at https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/security/advisories/GHSA-8g53-9m3c-69xg. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
