"The remote host has a version of ImageMagick installed that is prior to 7.1.2-31. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability.

  - ImageMagick before 7.1.2-31 contains a policy bypass vulnerability in the UHDR encoder that fails to perform
    policy checks during buffer allocation for image pixels. Attackers can bypass resource policies by processing
    specially crafted UHDR images, potentially causing denial of service through excessive memory
    allocation. (CVE-2026-93590)

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