A patch is available in Magick.NET Q16 AnyCPU version 14.8.1 that fixes this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to version 14.8.1 or later to remediate the issue. No additional mitigations are specified by the vendor advisory. Applying the official fix fully addresses the vulnerability.
Description
A format string vulnerability exists in the InterpretImageFilename function of Magick.NET Q16 AnyCPU before version 14.8.1. This flaw allows user input containing format specifiers to be passed unsanitized to a formatting function, potentially leading to arbitrary memory overwrite. Exploitation can result in heap buffer overflow and remote code execution. The issue is addressed in version 14.8.1.
