Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-12-24 00:00 – Updated: 2025-11-03 18:31

Details

GEGL before 0.4.34, as used (for example) in GIMP before 2.10.30, allows shell expansion when a pathname in a constructed command line is not escaped or filtered. This is caused by use of the system library function for execution of the ImageMagick convert fallback in magick-load.

Severity

7.8 (High)

CVE-2021-45463 (GCVE-0-2021-45463)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2021-12-23 06:00 – Updated: 2025-11-03 17:30

Summary

load_cache in GEGL before 0.4.34 allows shell expansion when a pathname in a constructed command line is not escaped or filtered. This is caused by use of the system library function for execution of the ImageMagick convert fallback in magick-load. NOTE: GEGL releases before 0.4.34 are used in GIMP releases before 2.10.30; however, this does not imply that GIMP builds enable the vulnerable feature.

Severity

No CVSS data available.
