Ecosystems affected: NuGet.

How do I fix CVE-2026-66011?

Update Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU to 14.15.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-66011 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-66011 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-2026-66011 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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.

Is CVE-2026-66011 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-66011 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-2026-66011?

CVE-2026-66011 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.1%, placing it in the 3th 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-2026-66011?

CVE-2026-66011 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.

When was CVE-2026-66011 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-66011 was published on July 25, 2026 and was last updated on October 24, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Fix
Update Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU to 14.15.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-66011 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.

Red HatLow

This vulnerability has a Low impact as it requires local system access and user interaction to exploit. An attacker must repeatedly supply malformed command-line arguments to the `magick` utility, leading to a memory leak and potential resource exhaustion.

Workaround published by Red Hat

To mitigate this issue, strictly sanitize inputs to prevent invalid CLI options from being passed to ImageMagick. Enforce process memory limits (via cgroups or ulimit) on ImageMagick executions to prevent potential memory exhaustion.
