CVE-2026-116160
LowCVSS 3.3Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs
Summary
ImageMagick before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33 contains a heap-based buffer overflow in the X11 animate operation when processing crafted images. Attackers can supply a malicious image that, when a user runs an X11 animate operation on it, overwrites heap memory and can crash the application.
Risk Assessment
An application crash or potential code execution in the context of the user processing the image may occur, compromising availability and confidentiality. The risk affects systems processing untrusted images with X11.
Recommendation
Update ImageMagick to version 6.9.13-58 or 7.1.2-33 (or later). Avoid processing untrusted images in X11 animate operations until updated.
