"The remote host has a version of ImageMagick installed that is prior to 6.9.13-55, or 7.x prior to 7.1.2-26. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

  - ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 contains a memory leak vulnerability in the JNG encoder when a blob cannot
    be opened. Attackers can trigger the memory leak by providing malformed JNG files that fail blob
    operations, causing resource exhaustion. (CVE-2026-61866)

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