CVE-2026-85750: Piwigo arbitrary file read and RCE in image upload handling

CVE-2026-85750 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.2 · Published 2026-09-25

Piwigo is an open-source web application for managing and sharing photo galleries. When using the Imagick library, it fails to properly validate uploaded image files, allowing an authenticated administrator to disguise malicious SVG content as PNG images. This can lead to unauthorized reading of sensitive server files like configuration and database credentials, and in some cases remote code execution depending on ImageMagick configuration.

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from improper input validation (CWE-20) in image upload handling when Imagick is enabled. An attacker with admin privileges can upload SVG files with PNG extensions, causing ImageMagick to interpret them as SVG format; by leveraging SVG's reference capabilities and Magick Scripting Language (MSL) support, attackers can read arbitrary files via pseudo-protocols (e.g., text:/etc/passwd) or write files and achieve RCE. The vulnerability affects Piwigo versions through 16.3.0 and was fixed in 16.4.0.
