Ecosystems affected: NuGet.

How do I fix GHSA-xg29-8ghv-v4xr?

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-xg29-8ghv-v4xr is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-xg29-8ghv-v4xr 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-xg29-8ghv-v4xr 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-xg29-8ghv-v4xr?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-xg29-8ghv-v4xr 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-xg29-8ghv-v4xr actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-xg29-8ghv-v4xr 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-xg29-8ghv-v4xr?

GHSA-xg29-8ghv-v4xr has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 19th 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-xg29-8ghv-v4xr?

GHSA-xg29-8ghv-v4xr is classified as CWE-190 (CWE-190). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-xg29-8ghv-v4xr published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-xg29-8ghv-v4xr was published on March 12, 2026 and was last updated on March 14, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

A signed integer overflow vulnerability in ImageMagick's SIXEL decoder allows an attacker to trigger memory corruption and denial of service when processing a maliciously crafted SIXEL image file. The vulnerability occurs during buffer reallocation operations where pointer arithmetic using signed 32-bit integers overflows.
