ImageResizer.Plugins.FreeImage fixed: Latest secure release
Upgrade ImageResizer.Plugins.FreeImage to Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for ImageResizer.Plugins.FreeImage

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-wqcr-xm43-hpqr, inspect your project dependencies for ImageResizer.Plugins.FreeImage:

inspect dependencies for ImageResizer.Plugins.FreeImage

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

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

Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact This vulnerability affects deployments of FreeImage that involve decoding or processing malicious source .webp files. If you only process your own trusted files, this should not affect you, but **you should remove FreeImage from your project, as it is not maintained and presents a massive security risk**. If you are using FreeImage via ImageResizer.Plugins.FreeImage, please utilize [Imageflow](https://github.com/imazen/imageflow) or [Imageflow.Server](https://github.com/imazen/imageflow-dotnet-server) instead, or upgrade to ImageResizer 5 and use ImageResizer.Plugins.Imageflow (enable Prereleases on NuGet to access). FreeImage relies on Google's [libwebp](https://github.com/webmproject/libwebp) library to decode .webp images, and is affected by the recent zero-day out-of-bounds write vulnerability [CVE-2023-4863](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-4863) and https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-j7hp-h8jx-5ppr. The libwebp vulnerability also affects Chrome, Android, macOS, and other consumers of the library). libwebp patched [the vulnerability](https://github.com/webmproject/libwebp/commit/2af26267cdfcb63a88e5c74a85927a12d6ca1d76 ) and released [1.3.2](https://github.com/webmproject/libwebp/releases/tag/v1.3.2). FreeImage hasn't been updated since then and is presumed vulnerable. ### Patches None. FreeImage has not been updated in several years. ### Workarounds If you are using ImageResizer.Plugins.FreeImage, please utilize [Imageflow](https://github.com/imazen/imageflow) or [Imageflow.Server](https://github.com/imazen/imageflow-dotnet-server) instead, or upgrade to ImageResizer 5 and use ImageResizer.Plugins.Imageflow (enable Prereleases on NuGet to access). ### References https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-j7hp-h8jx-5ppr https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-4863 https://github.com/webmproject/libwebp/commit/2af26267cdfcb63a88e5c74a85927a12d6ca1d76 https://github.com/NoXF/libwebp-sys/commits/master
