Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA and Red Hat. Impact type from CWE-863.

Summary

ImageMagick before 6.9.13-56 and before 7.1.2-31 in the 7.x line allows a security policy bypass when a policy uses coder, rather than module, as its domain. An attacker can supply a crafted image to evade coder-based policy restrictions, so ImageMagick processes formats the administrator meant to block. The CNA rates this MEDIUM with CVSS 4.0 base score 6.9, and CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) applies. Red Hat rates it Moderate; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 has no fix planned and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 has no fix available.

Description from the CNA

ImageMagick before 6.9.13-56 and 7.x before 7.1.2-31 allows a security policy bypass when a policy uses coder, rather than module, as its domain. An attacker can supply a crafted image to evade coder-based policy restrictions, causing ImageMagick to process formats the administrator intended to block.

Remediation

Upgrade ImageMagick 6.x to 6.9.13-56 or later, and ImageMagick 7.x to 7.1.2-31 or later. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 have no fix, so restrict or remove coder-based policy rules on those systems until a fix is available.
