3DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw was found in the file-psd plugin in GIMP. When generating a thumbnail preview for a specially crafted PSD (Photoshop Document) image file, an integer overflow occurs during the multiplication of values from an embedded JPEG header. This leads to an undersized heap allocation, resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow when the image data is decoded. This buffer overflow corrupts adjacent heap objects, allowing for a controlled memory write that can result in an application crash or arbitrary code execution.
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in GIMP's file-psd import plugin allows a crafted PSD file to corrupt adjacent heap memory, causing an application crash or potentially arbitrary code execution when the user opens the file or when a thumbnail preview is generated for it. The root cause is an integer overflow (CWE-190) in the multiplication of values taken from an embedded JPEG header, which yields an undersized heap allocation that is subsequently overrun during image decoding and can be turned into a controlled memory write. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to process an attacker-controlled PSD file with GIMP - either by explicitly opening it via the file-psd import plugin or by triggering thumbnail-preview generation for that file. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 7.8 High) describes a local, user-interaction-dependent memory-corruption flaw in GIMP's file-psd import plugin, not a remotely reachable service bug. … 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 | No vendor-released patch was identified in the available data, so the immediate priority is to track the fix upstream via the GNOME GitLab work item (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/work_items/16775) and the Red Hat advisory/bugzilla entries (https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-92248, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2534282), and to apply the patched GIMP build as soon as the vendor publishes it. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: identify all systems with GIMP installed, especially those that automatically generate PSD thumbnails (e.g., file managers, content management systems); disable thumbnail previews for PSD files and instruct users not to open PSD files from untrusted sources. …
