CVE-2026-28691

Plain English Summary

AI-powered analysis for quick understanding

An attacker can exploit a flaw in ImageMagick's JBIG decoder to crash the software or potentially run harmful code on a system that processes specially crafted image files. This vulnerability affects versions prior to 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41, so using an updated version is crucial for protection.

Technical Description

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41, an uninitialized pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the JBIG decoder due to a missing check. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41.

Related Vulnerabilities

CVE-2026-30936Medium

An attacker can create a specially crafted image that, when processed by vulnerable versions of ImageMagick using the wavelet denoise feature, can lead to unintended memory changes, potentially allowing them to execute arbitrary code. This issue affects versions prior to 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41, so updating to these versions or later is essential to mitigate the risk.

CVE-2026-30935Medium

This vulnerability allows an attacker to cause an application using ImageMagick to read data from memory that it shouldn't, potentially exposing sensitive information. It occurs when processing specially crafted images with the bilateral blur feature, and it affects versions prior to 7.1.2-16.

CVE-2026-30931High

This vulnerability allows an attacker to exploit a flaw in ImageMagick's UHDR encoder, potentially leading to unauthorized access or control over the system by writing data outside the intended memory space. It affects versions prior to 7.1.2-16, so users must upgrade to this version or later to protect against this risk.

CVE-2026-30929High

This vulnerability allows an attacker to crash the ImageMagick software or potentially execute malicious code by sending a specially crafted image that overflows a fixed-size memory area. It affects versions prior to 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41, so users should update to these versions or later to protect against this risk.

CVE-2026-30883High

This vulnerability allows an attacker to crash the ImageMagick software or potentially execute harmful code by sending a specially crafted PNG image with an excessively large profile. It affects versions prior to 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41, so using an updated version is crucial to avoid exploitation.
