ImageMagick PSD Decoder Bypass: List-Length Policy before 6.9.13-47/7.1.2-22
CVE-2026-45031 Published on June 10, 2026
ImageMagick: Policy Bypass in PSD decoder
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-47 and 7.1.2-22, due to a missing check in the PSD decoder it would be possible to bypass the list-length resource policy when decoding a PSD image. Other security limits would still apply. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-47 and 7.1.2-22.
