MediumCVSS 5.0 · v2.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 77.1% of all records.
  • No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: imagemagick (Debian:12) 5:6.0.2.5; ImageMagick (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 0:5.5.6-13; ImageMagick-c++ (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 0:5.5.6-13.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to imagemagick (Debian:12) 5:6.0.2.5; ImageMagick (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 0:5.5.6-13; ImageMagick-c++ (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:3::as) 0:5.5.6-13 or later.
