ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-23, an attacker who can connect to a magick -distribute-cache service can hijack a file descriptor in the server process when a race condition is met. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-23.
CVE-2026-46693
This medium-severity CVE scores 4.1 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.1%, top 100% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
