ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55 contains a time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability in the video decoder that allows attackers to bypass path policy write restrictions via symlink swaps. An attacker can replace a symlink between policy validation (check-time) and the file write operation (use-time) to write to policy-denied locations.
AnalysisAI
ImageMagick's video decoder contains a TOCTOU race condition that allows a local low-privileged attacker to bypass the policy.xml path write restrictions by swapping a symlink between the policy validation step and the actual file write operation. Both the ImageMagick 7 branch (before 7.1.2-30) and the legacy ImageMagick 6 branch (before 6.9.13-55) are affected, covering a wide range of deployed versions. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a local account with at least low-privilege access to the target system (PR:L per CVSS 4.0). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.0 is well-founded and not a suppression of a more severe underlying issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patches are available: upgrade to ImageMagick 7.1.2-30 or later on the 7.x branch, or to ImageMagick 6.9.13-55 or later on the 6.x branch, as confirmed by GHSA-9x6f-98x9-rx6g. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
