DescriptionCVE.org

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to version 7.1.2-26, an incorrect handling of arguments can cause a heap buffer over-write in the JP2 encoder. This issue has been fixed in version7.1.2-26.

AnalysisAI

Heap buffer over-write in ImageMagick's JP2 (JPEG 2000) encoder - present in all versions prior to 7.1.2-26 - allows an attacker to crash the process by supplying a maliciously crafted JP2 image file, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. The root cause is CWE-682 (Incorrect Calculation): argument handling logic in the JP2 encoder computes incorrect bounds, leading to an out-of-bounds heap write. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Craft malicious JP2 image file
Delivery
Deliver file to target system or upload to pipeline
Exploit
User or service processes file with ImageMagick
Execution
Incorrect argument calculation triggers heap over-write
Impact
ImageMagick process crashes (DoS)

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that a user or automated process invoke ImageMagick (prior to 7.1.2-26) to process a specially crafted JP2 (JPEG 2000) image file - specifically through the JP2 encoder code path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 5.5 (Medium) with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H accurately characterizes this as a local, user-triggered denial-of-service. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malformed JP2 image file that triggers the incorrect argument calculation in ImageMagick's JP2 encoder and delivers it to a target - for example, by uploading it to a web application that uses ImageMagick for server-side image conversion or thumbnail generation. When the application's ImageMagick process attempts to encode or transcode the file, the heap buffer over-write corrupts heap metadata, causing the process to crash and resulting in a denial-of-service for that image-processing function. …
Remediation Upgrade to ImageMagick version 7.1.2-26 or later, which contains the vendor-confirmed fix for this issue. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
