ImageMagick before 7.1.2-32 contains a time-of-check time-of-use symlink race vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass the path security policy when executing a magick script. Attackers can swap a checked path with a symlink during script execution to read files that the security policy is meant to block.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the fc4d0a5b-d0c6-11f1-bae2-3497f65b111b advisory.

    The ImageMagick project published security advisories for               issues fixed in releases 7.1.2-26 through 7.1.2-34.  They include               heap buffer overflows, use-after-free, out-of-bounds reads,               integer overflows, division by zero, memory leaks and security               policy bypasses in various coders and in the command-line               interface.  A crafted image file can crash the process, disclose               memory contents or circumvent the configured security policy.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

    - CVE-2026-106580: a missing security-policy check in the CUT encoder allows a crafted local encoding     operation to read       data that policy should deny and can also cause a crash (bsc#1284680).
    - CVE-2026-107208: a crafted XMP profile can reach a recursion limit that is handled as a fatal condition     instead of an       ordinary exception, terminating the image-processing process (bsc#1284681).
