"The remote host has a version of ImageMagick installed that is prior to 6.9.13-40, or 7.x prior to 7.1.2-15. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

  - ImageMagick before 7.1.2-15 and before 6.9.13-40 contains a heap-buffer-overflow read vulnerability in
    GetPixelIndex caused by OpenPixelCache updating image channel metadata before pixel cache memory
    allocation. Attackers can trigger memory and disk allocation failures to cause a heap-buffer-overflow read
    affecting any writer calling GetPixelIndex. (CVE-2026-56362)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
