heap buffer overflow vulnerability:

  - ImageMagick before 7.1.2-19 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the FTXT encoder due to missing
    boundary checks when parsing ftxt:format. Remote attackers can trigger an out of bounds read by crafting
    malicious FTXT image files to cause denial of service or information disclosure. (CVE-2026-56374)

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