CVE-2026-123614: imgproxy integer overflow in ICO loader

CVE-2026-123614 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.8 · Published 2026-11-08

imgproxy is an image processing service that converts and resizes images on-demand. Versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.15 contain an integer overflow in the ICO image loader that can be exploited by submitting a crafted image file, potentially allowing an attacker to crash the service or execute arbitrary code on the server processing the image.

Technical details

An integer overflow in vips/icoload.c occurs when allocating memory for ICO image data: the code adds a 32-bit attacker-controlled data_size to BMP_FILE_HEADER_LEN (14 bytes) without checking for overflow, causing the allocation to wrap. This results in a heap buffer overflow when subsequent read operations write beyond the undersized allocation, enabling denial of service or code execution via heap corruption. The vulnerability requires only network access and no authentication or user interaction.
