ImageMagick: Policy Bypass in delegate symlink cleanup due to missing check

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 06.10.2026 Published: 07.10.2026 Updated: 07.10.2026

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to 7.1.2-32, delegate symlink cleanup does not check the MAGICK_SHRED_PASSES environment variable, allowing a local privileged workflow to overwrite a file with random data. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2-32.
