CVE-2017-5507
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—
Memory leak in coders/mpc.c in ImageMagick before 6.9.7-4 and 7.x before 7.0.4-4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors involving a pixel cache.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Base score: 7.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 5.96%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 93
- Score date: 10/9/2026
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).
