What is CVE-2026-42050?

ImageMagick is an open-source software suite for editing and manipulating digital images. A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in earlier versions of ImageMagick (prior to 7.1.2-21 and 6.9.13-46), which can be triggered by a specially crafted MIFF file. When users open such a file in the display tool and select the Load / Update menu item, it could potentially lead to unexpected behavior or compromise system integrity. This issue has been addressed in subsequent releases, ensuring enhanced security for users.

ImageMagick < 6.9.13-46 < 6.9.13-46

ImageMagick >= 7.0.0, < 7.1.2-20 < 7.0.0, 7.1.2-20
