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-2026-25967 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Stop feeding it untrusted input: reject or quarantine files and payloads from unverified sources until you can upgrade, restrict accepted formats to the ones you actually need, and run the parsing or decoding step in a least-privileged sandbox or short-lived worker so a crash or corrupted read cannot reach the rest of the process.
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 flaw in ImageMagick allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by providing a specially crafted FTXT file. The vulnerability, a stack-based buffer overflow in the FTXT image reader, can lead to out-of-bounds writes and application crashes. This affects ImageMagick as shipped in Red Hat…
To mitigate this issue, avoid processing untrusted FTXT image files with ImageMagick. If ImageMagick must process untrusted input, consider running the application in a sandboxed environment to limit potential impact.Source: Red Hat security advisory for CVE-2026-25967 (CC BY 4.0)
