Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one high risk vulnerability.
EUVDB-ID: #VU48940
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1:
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-29599
CWE-ID:
Exploit availability:
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
ImageMagick before 6.9.11-40 and 7.x before 7.0.10-40 mishandles the -authenticate option, which allows setting a password for password-protected PDF files. The user-controlled password was not properly escaped/sanitized and it was therefore possible to inject additional shell commands via coders/pdf.c.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsImageMagick: 6.9.0-0 - 7.0.10-39
