How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2026-62343, inspect your project dependencies for ImageMagick:

inspect dependencies for Magick.NET-Q8-OpenMP-x64

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of ImageMagick in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 14.15.0), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound, where the product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. this occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. when this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number. In ImageMagick, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

An invalid kernel can cause a heap buffer over-write when performing a morphology operation with a user supplied kernel.
