ImageMagick before 7.1.2-32 and 6.9.13-57 contains a policy bypass vulnerability in LoadPolicyCache that silently skips security policy rules when… (CVE-2026-105083)
ImageMagick versions before 7.1.2-32 and 6.9.13-57 have a policy bypass vulnerability in the LoadPolicyCache function. This flaw occurs when the policy.xml file uses an alternate DOCTYPE that causes the parser to skip applying security policy rules, allowing restricted operations to be performed. The vulnerability has a low severity rating with a CVSS score of 3.9.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in ImageMagick before versions 7.1.2-32 and 6.9.13-57 involves the LoadPolicyCache function silently bypassing security policy rules if the policy.xml file contains an alternate DOCTYPE that does not end with ']>' . This causes the XML parser to consume the remainder of the file, resulting in no policy rules being enforced and thus permitting restricted operations that should be blocked.
Potential Impact
The impact is limited to a low severity level, with potential confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts rated as low. Restricted operations that rely on policy enforcement may be allowed due to the bypass, but exploitation requires local access with high privileges and no user interaction is needed.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in ImageMagick versions 7.1.2-32 and 6.9.13-57 and later. Users should upgrade to these or newer versions to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigation guidance is provided or necessary given the availability of an official fix.
