CVE-2026-107209 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.9 · Published 2026-10-07

ImageMagick is software that processes and edits digital images. When built without Cairo support, a specially crafted RSVG image file can trigger a double-free memory error that causes the application to crash. An attacker could exploit this by providing a malicious image file to crash systems that rely on ImageMagick for image processing.

**How is CVE-2026-107209 attacked?** It is attacked over the network, in a software library.

**Am I affected by CVE-2026-107209?** Check whether you run ImageMagick at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

## How to fix

- Fixed in ImageMagick 6.9.13-55, 7.1.2-30

## Technical details

A double-free vulnerability exists in the RSVG decoder (coders/svg.c) when ImageMagick is compiled without Cairo support. When processing a crafted RSVG image that reaches resource limits, the svg_handle pointer is freed twice—once via rsvg_handle_free() and then again implicitly through reference counting, causing use-after-free. This requires the attacker to supply a malicious RSVG image file as input.

## Affected products

- ImageMagick ImageMagick before 6.9.13-55 and 7.1.2-30
