CVE-2026-45624 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.1 · Published 2026-06-10

ImageMagick is a widely used open-source tool for editing and converting digital images. A flaw in how it handles specific image distortion commands could allow a local attacker to read small amounts of memory that should be restricted. This could potentially lead to minor information disclosure or cause the application to crash, affecting service reliability.

## Technical details

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CWE-125) exists in ImageMagick's polynomial distortion functionality due to improper validation of array indices (CWE-129). When processing specific arguments during a distort operation, the application may read 24 bytes beyond the intended buffer. This is a local attack vector that does not require special privileges or user interaction. An attacker could potentially exploit this to leak sensitive information from memory or cause a denial-of-service (crash). The issue is resolved in versions 6.9.13-47 and 7.1.2-22.

## Affected products

- ImageMagick ImageMagick < 6.9.13-47, < 7.1.2-22
