MEDIUM 5.9 NuGet
ImageMagick's Security Policy Bypass through config/policy-secure.xml via "fd handler" leads to stdin/stdout access
GHSA-xwc6-v6g8-pw2h · CVE-2026-25966
Published · Modified
Description
The shipped “secure” security policy includes a rule intended to prevent reading/writing from standard streams:
<policy domain="path" rights="none" pattern="-"/>
However, ImageMagick also supports fd:
To resolve this, users can add the following change to their security policy.
<policy domain="path" rights="none" pattern="fd:*"/>
And this will also be included in ImageMagick's more secure policies by default.
