CVE-2026-25637 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to version 7.1.2-15, a memory leak in the ASHLAR image writer allows an attacker to exhaust process memory by providing a crafted image that results in small objects that are allocated but never freed. EPSS estimates a 0.38% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
