CVE-2026-33901: ImageMagick heap buffer overflow in MVG decoder

CVE-2026-33901 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-04-13

ImageMagick, a widely used open-source tool for image processing, is vulnerable to a flaw that occurs when handling specially crafted image files. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial-of-service condition, potentially crashing applications or services that rely on ImageMagick to process user-uploaded images. This could disrupt business operations and service availability for platforms that automate image manipulation.

Technical details

A heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) exists in the MVG (Magick Vector Graphics) decoder of ImageMagick. The vulnerability is located in the RenderMVGContent function within MagickCore/draw.c, where insufficient bounds checking on the 'q' and 'p' pointers can lead to an out-of-bounds write. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted image file for processing. Successful exploitation primarily impacts service availability by causing a crash (Denial of Service). The issue is resolved in ImageMagick versions 7.1.2-19 and 6.9.13-44.
