imagemagickimagemagickDetection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU to 14.10.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-25799 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
Fixing This On Your OS
If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.
This MODERATE impact vulnerability in ImageMagick can lead to a denial-of-service. A logic error in YUV sampling factor validation allows an invalid sampling factor to bypass checks, triggering a division-by-zero during image loading. This affects ImageMagick as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ELS and 7 ELS.
To mitigate this issue, avoid processing untrusted or unknown image files with ImageMagick. Limiting the exposure of ImageMagick to untrusted input sources can reduce the risk of exploitation.Source: Red Hat security advisory for CVE-2026-25799 (CC BY 4.0)
