In lib/mini_magick/image.rb in MiniMagick before 4.9.4, a fetched remote image filename could cause remote command execution because Image.open input is directly passed to Kernel#open, which accepts a '|' character followed by a command.
CVE-2019-13574
This high-severity CVE scores 7.8 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 7.6%, top 6% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
