CVE-2020-29599
Last modified
CVE-2020-29599 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 7.03% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
