CVE-2024-41132: SixLabors ImageSharp Allows Excessive Memory Allocation in Gif Decoder
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)
- 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: 0.77% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 56.1% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: SixLabors.ImageSharp (NuGet) 3.1.5, 2.1.9.
- Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 5.3, NVD 7.5.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to SixLabors.ImageSharp (NuGet) 3.1.5, 2.1.9 or later.
