CodeIgniter4's ImageMagick Handler has Command Injection Vulnerability
Impact
This vulnerability affects applications that:
- Use the ImageMagick handler for image processing (
imagickas the image library) - AND either:
- Allow file uploads with user-controlled filenames and process uploaded images using the
resize()method - OR use the
text()method with user-controlled text content or options
- Allow file uploads with user-controlled filenames and process uploaded images using the
An attacker can:
- Upload a file with a malicious filename containing shell metacharacters that get executed when the image is processed
- OR provide malicious text content or options that get executed when adding text to images
Patches
Upgrade to v4.6.2 or later.
Workarounds
- Switch to the GD image handler (
gd, the default handler), which is not affected by either vulnerability - For file upload scenarios: Instead of using user-provided filenames, generate random names to eliminate the attack vector with
getRandomName()when using themove()method, or use thestore()method, which automatically generates safe filenames - For text operations: If you must use ImageMagick with user-controlled text, sanitize the input to only allow safe characters:
preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9\s.,!?-]/', '', $text)and validate/restrict text options
