CVE-2026-47165
Description
A flaw was found in ImageMagick, a software used for editing and manipulating digital images. The distributed pixel cache, a component responsible for managing image data, lacked a necessary authentication mechanism. This oversight could allow a local attacker with high privileges to access sensitive data, resulting in information disclosure.
Statement
This flaw in ImageMagick has a Low impact, as it requires a local attacker with high privileges to exploit the missing authentication in the distributed pixel cache. This could lead to information disclosure, but the stringent access requirements significantly reduce the risk in most Red Hat environments.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Access Control,Other
Technical Impact: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity; Varies by Context
Exposing critical functionality essentially provides an attacker with the privilege level of that functionality. The consequences will depend on the associated functionality, but they can range from reading or modifying sensitive data, accessing administrative or other privileged functionality, or possibly even executing arbitrary code.
