Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one high risk vulnerability.
1) XML injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU48940
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-29599
CWE-ID:
CWE-91 - XML Injection
Exploit availability: Yes
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 (Alpine package): 7.0.10.42-r0
