GHSA-QV2Q-C278-PCH5

The PasskeyEncipherImage method is vulnerable to information disclosure via AES-CTR nonce reuse. ImageMagick has update the documentation on its website to make it more clear that this is happening: https://imagemagick.org/cipher/

Security-sensitive operations rely on values that are predictable or insufficiently random. Typical impact: forged tokens, guessable identifiers, or broken cryptographic protocols.

GHSA-QV2Q-C278-PCH5 has a CVSS score of 3.7 (Low). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (14.12.0); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

4. Is there a fix for GHSA-QV2Q-C278-PCH5? Yes. GHSA-QV2Q-C278-PCH5 is fixed in 14.12.0. Upgrade to this version or later.
5. Is GHSA-QV2Q-C278-PCH5 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-QV2Q-C278-PCH5 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

6. What actually determines whether GHSA-QV2Q-C278-PCH5 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
