Ecosystems affected: NuGet.

How do I fix GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7?

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-8jvj-p28h-9gm7 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7 in my NuGet dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7 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.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7 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 GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7?

GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.8%, placing it in the 50th 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 GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7?

GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7 is classified as Path Traversal (CWE-22). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-8jvj-p28h-9gm7 was published on February 24, 2026 and was last updated on February 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.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects NuGet packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

ImageMagick’s path security policy is enforced on the raw filename string before the filesystem resolves it. As a result, a policy rule such as /etc/* can be bypassed by a path traversal. The OS resolves the traversal and opens the sensitive file, but the policy matcher only sees the unnormalized path and therefore allows the read. This enables local file disclosure (LFI) even when policy-secure.xml is applied.

Actions to prevent reading from files have been taken. But it make sure writing is also not possible the following should be added to your policy:

<policy domain="path" rights="none" pattern="*../*"/>

And this will also be included in the project's more secure policies by default.
