Technical details
ImageMagick on Windows contains an uncontrolled search path vulnerability in the NTGhostscriptEXE() function, which launches gswin64c.exe by bare name when Ghostscript is unregistered, allowing Windows to resolve the executable from the current working directory. The vulnerability affects PDF, PostScript, and EPS file conversion operations and requires the attacker to have write access to a directory where ImageMagick executes, or to control the application's working directory. A fix is available in later versions.
