ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24, an incorrect parsing of the filename can result in a policy bypass and read files disallowed by a security policy using a symlink. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

    Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in imagemagick, a     software suite used for editing and manipulating digital images, which     could lead to denial of service, information disclosure or potentially     arbitrary code execution if malformed images are processed.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 8:7.1.1.43+dfsg1-1+deb13u10.

    We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.

    For the detailed security status of imagemagick please refer to     its security tracker page at:

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

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

The remote host has a version of ImageMagick installed that is prior to 6.9.13-48 or 7.x prior to 7.1.2-24. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A missing check in the DCM decoder could result in an image with invalid dimensions that may trigger crashes     during subsequent operations. (CVE-2026-49218)

  - A missing check of a return value could lead to a heap buffer over-write in the MAT decoder on 32-bit systems.
    (CVE-2026-48994)

  - Incorrect filename parsing with symlinks allows attackers to bypass security policies and access restricted files.
    (CVE-2026-49219)

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24, an incorrect parsing of the filename can result in a policy bypass and     read files disallowed by a security policy using a symlink.
