Description

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.13-x before 6.9.13-51 contains a policy bypass vulnerability in the -script operation due to missing security policy checks. This allows reading files from paths that are otherwise disallowed by the configured security policy.

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 14.15.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vghg-5jrg-2398 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ships ImageMagick in RHEL 6 ELS and RHEL 7 ELS. This flaw has been rated as having a Low security impact and is not currently planned to be addressed in future updates of those products. For additional information, refer to the Issue Severity Classification:…

Workaround published by Red Hat
Restrict use of the -script option by ensuring untrusted users cannot invoke ImageMagick commands directly. If ImageMagick is used in an automated pipeline, use a wrapper that does not pass the -script flag. Upgrade to ImageMagick 7.1.2-26 or 6.9.13-51 mitigates the issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

The -script operation is missing policy checks and that could result in both reading from paths disallowed by the security policy.
