In short

ImageMagick, an image processing tool, fails to properly validate image file names and formats, allowing attackers to inject shell commands that execute as the user running the application. This is dangerous because an attacker can trick someone into processing a specially crafted image to gain control of the system.

Technical detail

Multiple ImageMagick coders (EPHEMERAL, HTTPS, MVG, MSL, TEXT, SHOW, WIN, PLT) improperly sanitize image filenames and delegate command parameters, allowing shell metacharacter injection via crafted images. An attacker can exploit this through remote image processing requests to achieve arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the ImageMagick process.
