CVE-2020-29599

ImageMagick: Shell injection via PDF password could result in arbitrary code execution

Published Dec 7, 2020 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS 7.5% KEV · Not listed
Description
ImageMagick before 6.9.11-40 and 7.x before 7.0.10-40 mishandles the -authenticate option, which allows setting a password for password-protected PDF files. The user-controlled password was not properly escaped/sanitized and it was therefore possible to inject additional shell commands via coders/pdf.c.
