EPSS Score97.5%

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) estimates a 97.5% chance this CVE is exploited in the wild within the next 30 days — higher than 100% of all CVEs. It complements CVSS: a high EPSS on a mid-severity CVE can still be urgent.

ImageMagick contains an improper input validation vulnerability that affects the EPHEMERAL, HTTPS, MVG, MSL, TEXT, SHOW, WIN, and PLT coders. This allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in a crafted image.

Required Action
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
