CVE-2026-62946: ImageMagick integer overflow in JNX decoder

CVE-2026-62946 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.1 · Published 2026-07-30

ImageMagick is a widely used open-source tool for creating, editing, and converting digital images. A flaw in how it handles specific image files (JNX format) on 32-bit systems could allow a specially crafted file to crash the application. This could lead to service disruptions for organizations that use ImageMagick to process user-uploaded images or automate media workflows.

Technologies: ImageMagick, Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU (NuGet), Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-AnyCPU (NuGet), Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-x86 (NuGet), Magick.NET-Q16-x86 (NuGet), Magick.NET-Q8-AnyCPU (NuGet), Magick.NET-Q8-x86 (NuGet). Vendors: ImageMagick, NuGet.

Technical details

An integer overflow vulnerability (CWE-190) exists in the JNX decoder of ImageMagick when running on 32-bit architectures. The flaw is triggered when the application processes an exceptionally large JNX image file, leading to a heap buffer overwrite. While the attack vector is local and requires high complexity to exploit, it can result in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition by crashing the process. The issue is specific to 32-bit builds and has been addressed in versions 6.9.13-52 and 7.1.2-27.

Affected products

  • ImageMagick ImageMagick < 6.9.13-52, < 7.1.2-27 (32-bit builds only)
