CVE-2026-59091
Gimp: gimp: multiple vulnerabilities in file format plugins via crafted image file
A flaw was found in GIMP's file format plugins, including those for PSD and PAA files. A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted image file. This could lead to unexpected application behavior or other potential security impacts without requiring further user interaction.
Fixes and workarounds
Workaround
Users should avoid opening untrusted image files, particularly those in PSD or PAA formats, with GIMP. Exercising caution with files from unknown or suspicious sources can prevent exploitation of these vulnerabilities.
