CVE-2026-109275: ImageMagick code injection in MVG decoder with PostScript renderer

CVE-2026-109275 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.8 · Published 2026-10-12

ImageMagick is an image processing library used by web applications and servers to manipulate and convert image files. A vulnerability in its MVG (Magick Vector Graphics) decoder allows an attacker to inject code into the PostScript rendering path when processing a crafted MVG file. This could lead to code execution or denial of service depending on the PostScript renderer configuration and the attacker's capabilities.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: ImageMagick 6.9.13-57, 7.1.2-32

Technical details

The MVG decoder in ImageMagick fails to properly validate or sanitize PostScript font names before passing them to the PostScript renderer, allowing code injection via a crafted MVG file. The vulnerability requires network-based delivery of the malicious MVG file and the PostScript renderer to be active. An attacker gains the ability to inject arbitrary PostScript commands, potentially leading to code execution or availability impact.
