CVE-2026-116154: ImageMagick memory leak in XML parsing depth limit

CVE-2026-116154 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-10-25

ImageMagick is a widely-used image processing library that handles various file formats including those containing XML data. A memory leak in its XML parser allows attackers to send specially crafted files with deeply nested XML structures, exhausting server memory and causing denial of service. This impacts any application using ImageMagick to process user-supplied images or documents.

How to fix

Fixed in: 6.9.13-58, 7.1.2-33

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in ImageMagick's XML parsing code where memory allocated during XML parsing is not properly released when the parser reaches the nesting depth limit. An attacker can send crafted, deeply nested XML data to trigger the memory leak, leading to progressive memory exhaustion and denial of service. The vulnerability affects versions before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x versions before 7.1.2-33.

Affected products

ImageMagick ImageMagick before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33
