Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-56366?

CVE-2026-56366 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-2026-56366?

Update Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU to 14.11.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-56366 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-56366 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-2026-56366 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Cap what an attacker can consume: apply request size, rate and timeout limits in front of the affected component, and run it with memory and CPU limits so exhaustion degrades one worker rather than the whole service.

Is CVE-2026-56366 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-56366 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-2026-56366?

CVE-2026-56366 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 6th 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-2026-56366?

CVE-2026-56366 is classified as CWE-401 (CWE-401). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.
