CVE-2004-0981
Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—
Buffer overflow in the EXIF parsing routine in ImageMagick before 6.1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain image file.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 10
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 5.84%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 93
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
