Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-56361?

CVE-2026-56361 affects the following packages: Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU (NuGet), Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-AnyCPU (NuGet), Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-OpenMP-arm64 (NuGet), Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-arm64 (NuGet), Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-x64 (NuGet), Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-x86 (NuGet), Magick.NET-Q16-OpenMP-arm64 (NuGet), Magick.NET-Q16-OpenMP-x64 (NuGet), and 10 more. Ecosystems affected: NuGet.

How do I fix CVE-2026-56361?

Update Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU to 14.12.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-56361 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-56361 in my NuGet dependencies?

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.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-56361 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Constrain what reaches the vulnerable code: limit the size and shape of untrusted input, isolate the affected component in a sandboxed or least-privileged process, and enable the platform's memory-safety mitigations (ASLR, stack protector, hardened allocator) so an out-of-bounds access is more likely to fail closed than to be exploitable.

Is CVE-2026-56361 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-56361 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-56361?

CVE-2026-56361 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.1%, placing it in the 2th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-56361?

CVE-2026-56361 is classified as Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-56361 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-56361 was published on June 30, 2026 and was last updated on October 31, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

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.

Red HatLow

This flaw in ImageMagick is rated as Low impact. An attacker can trigger a memory access violation by submitting a maliciously crafted image. Red Hat has rated this low as there is no impact to the confidentiality of the data and availability is low as denial-of-service is strictly localized to the process handling…

Workaround published by Red Hat

To reduce exposure, avoid processing untrusted image files with ImageMagick, particularly those that may contain malformed morphology parameters. If processing untrusted content is necessary, consider implementing sandboxing mechanisms to isolate ImageMagick operations and limit the potential blast radius of any successful exploitation.
