CVE-2026-23874 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade ImageMagick/ImageMagick to version 7.1.2-13 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Infinite loop in ProcessMSLScript. An attacker can cause the application to crash or become unresponsive by supplying a specially crafted Magick Scripting Language (MSL) file that triggers infinite recursion, resulting in a stack overflow.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by restricting the ability to process Magick Scripting Language (MSL) files through a policy entry that disables the MSL coder in the ImageMagick policy file.
