  - 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)
