CVE-2026-23952

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Versions 14.10.1 and below have a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the MSL (Magick Scripting Language) parser when processing <comment> tags before images are loaded.

External lookup

Potential internet exposure

Potential exposure only — not proof of vulnerability.Shodan results indicate potentially internet-exposed products, not confirmed vulnerable systems. They do not confirm that any returned system is vulnerable to CVE-2026-23952.

Product-level CPE searches intentionally omit version fields and NVD version-range or configuration certainty. Verify the exact product version and configuration independently.

Sign-in required. Shodan requires you to sign in to run these filter searches.
