Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.13-x before 6.9.13-51 contains a policy bypass vulnerability in the -script operation due to missing security policy checks. This allows reading files from paths that are otherwise disallowed by the configured security policy.
AnalysisAI
ImageMagick's -script operation bypasses the configured security policy file path restrictions in versions before 7.1.2-26 (7.x branch) and before 6.9.13-51 (6.9.13-x branch), enabling a local attacker with low privileges to read files from paths explicitly denied by the security policy. The CVSS 4.0 score of 4.8 reflects the local-only attack surface, low-privilege requirement, and confidentiality-only impact with no code execution possible. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires local command execution with at least low-privilege user access (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector AV:L/PR:L) - the attacker must be able to invoke the `magick` binary with the `-script` option and supply a script file or path they control. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N) accurately characterizes the constrained risk profile: local system access and at least user-level privileges are required, and the impact is limited to reading files that the security policy would otherwise block - no code execution, no integrity or availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A local attacker with a standard unprivileged account on a shared hosting server invokes `magick -script /tmp/attacker.mvg` where the script contains read operations targeting paths restricted by the system security policy - for example, application configuration files containing database credentials or other secrets. Because the `-script` processing path skips policy enforcement, the restricted file contents are returned to the attacker. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade ImageMagick to version 7.1.2-26 or later (7.x branch) or to 6.9.13-51 or later (6.9.13-x branch), as confirmed by the vendor security advisory GHSA-vghg-5jrg-2398 at https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/security/advisories/GHSA-vghg-5jrg-2398. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
