Summary

ImageMagick on Windows through 7.1.2-33 and 6.9.13-58 contains an uncontrolled search path vulnerability in NTGhostscriptEXE() that launches gswin64c.exe by bare name when Ghostscript is unregistered. Attackers can plant a malicious gswin64c.exe in the working directory to execute code with ImageMagick privileges when PDF, PostScript, or EPS files are converted.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can execute arbitrary code with ImageMagick process privileges, potentially leading to system compromise when PDF, PostScript, or EPS files are processed.

Recommendation

Update ImageMagick to a patched version or register Ghostscript to avoid launching gswin64c.exe by bare name, and restrict privileges of file-conversion processes.
