# CVE-2026-109262: CVE-2026-109262

Status: published. Published: 2026-10-12. Updated: 2026-11-03.

ImageMagick before 6.9.13-57 and 7.x before 7.1.2-32 contains a memory leak in the SVG encoder (WriteSVGImage) that fails to release allocated memory when handling crafted images. Attackers can supply crafted image files that are processed by the SVG encoder to leak memory and cause a denial of service through resource consumption.
