ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41, when a memory allocation fails in the sixel encoder it would be possible to write past the end of a buffer on the stack. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41.

CVE-2026-30937 [MEDIUM] ImageMagick vulnerabilities
Title: ImageMagick vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in ImageMagick.
Hao Ren discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain images
when using the wavelet-denoise operation. An attacker could possibly use
this issue to trigger an out-of-bounds heap write, resulting in
arbitrary code execution. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
(CVE-2026-30936)
It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled extremely large
XWD images. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger an
out-of-bounds heap write, resulting in arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2026-30937)
It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled extremely large
SFW images on 32-bit systems. An attacker could possibly

CVE-2026-32259 [MEDIUM] CWE-121 ImageMagick: stack-based buffer overflow in sixel encoder
ImageMagick: stack-based buffer overflow in sixel encoder
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41, when a memory allocation fails in the sixel encoder it would be possible to write past the end of a buffer on the stack. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41.
A flaw was found in ImageMagick. Processing a specially crafted file with the sixel encoder can cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a memory allocation fails, leading to a denial of service.
Statement: To exploit this issue, an attacker needs to convince a user to process a specially crafted file that makes ImageMagick use the sixel encoder. Furthermore, this flaw is only triggered when a memory allocation fails, limiting the

## CVE-2025-69204 :
ImageMagick vulnerability analysis and mitigation
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to version 7.1.2-12, in the WriteSVGImage function, using an int variable to store number_attributes caused an integer overflow. This, in turn, triggered a buffer overflow and caused a DoS attack. Version 7.1.2-12 fixes the issue.

CVE-2026-23876 [HIGH] CVE-2026-23876 Impact, Exploitability, and Mitigation Steps | Wiz
## CVE-2026-23876 :
ImageMagick vulnerability analysis and mitigation
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-13 and 6.9.13-38, a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the XBM image decoder (ReadXBMImage) allows an attacker to write controlled data past the allocated heap buffer when processing a maliciously crafted image file. Any operation that reads or identifies an image can trigger the overflow, making it exploitable via common image upload and processing pipelines. Versions 7.1.2-13 and 6.9.13-38 fix the issue.
