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.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    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 GHSA-qv2q-c278-pch5 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    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.

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.
