What is CVE-2026-25965?

ImageMagick is a popular open-source software suite for digital image manipulation. Prior to the release of versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, a significant vulnerability was present that allowed the bypass of path security policies through path traversal techniques. This flaw enables unauthorized access to sensitive files, as the filesystem resolves the traversal but the security policy only recognizes the unnormalized path. The implications of this vulnerability can lead to local file disclosure, even when security measures such as policy-secure.xml are in place. Users are advised to update to the latest versions and implement additional protections in their security policies.
