Description
A flaw was found in ImageMagick. This vulnerability allows information disclosure by enabling a local attacker to bypass path security policies during the execution of a magick script. By exploiting a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition, an attacker can replace a validated file path with a symbolic link (symlink) before the script accesses it. This behavior enables the attacker to read restricted files that the security policy is intended to protect.
