GHSA-7355-pwx2-pm84 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) CWE-190 vulnerability in Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU. A fix is available for Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU — see the affected versions and patch details below.
ImageMagick: Integer overflow or wraparound and incorrect conversion between numeric types in the internal SVG decoder
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-7355-pwx2-pm84 plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 379,145 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.

Description
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, a crafted SVG file can cause a denial of service. An off-by-one boundary check (> instead of >=) that allows bypass the guard and reach an undefined (size_t) cast. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.

Detection & mitigation playbook
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 GHSA-7355-pwx2-pm84 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-7355-pwx2-pm84 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-7355-pwx2-pm84. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
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 is a MODERATE impact flaw in ImageMagick that could lead to a denial of service when processing a specially crafted SVG file. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ELS and 7 ELS, as well as Community Projects like Fedora and EPEL, include ImageMagick. Exploitation requires an attacker to provide a malicious SVG file to a…
To mitigate this issue, avoid processing untrusted SVG files with ImageMagick. If ImageMagick is used in an automated or server-side context, consider implementing sandboxing mechanisms or restricting the input sources to trusted origins to limit exposure to specially crafted SVG files.Source: Red Hat security advisory for GHSA-7355-pwx2-pm84 (CC BY 4.0)
