Ecosystems affected: NuGet.

How do I fix CVE-2026-56369?

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-2026-56369 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-56369 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-2026-56369 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.

Is CVE-2026-56369 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-56369 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-2026-56369?

CVE-2026-56369 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 12th 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-2026-56369?

CVE-2026-56369 is classified as CWE-323 (CWE-323). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-56369 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-56369 was published on June 30, 2026 and was last updated on August 12, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-22 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in the PasskeyEncipherImage method due to AES-CTR nonce reuse. Attackers can exploit nonce reuse in the cipher implementation to recover plaintext information from encrypted images.

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 Low impact information disclosure flaw in ImageMagick arises from AES-CTR nonce reuse within the `PasskeyEncipherImage` method. Exploitation requires an attacker to specifically target encrypted images processed by this method, which is not a common default configuration in Red Hat environments. The vulnerability…

Workaround published by Red Hat

To mitigate this stop using ImageMagick's built-in encryption feature. Rely on standard, OS-level data-at-rest encryption (such as LUKS) to protect sensitive media instead.
