Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-33855 is an Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability (CWE-190) in the MolotovCherry Android-ImageMagick7 library. This issue affects versions of Android-ImageMagick7 prior to 7.1.2-11. Published on 2026-03-24, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.5 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), indicating medium severity with primary impact on availability.

A local attacker requires no privileges but must rely on user interaction to exploit the vulnerability. By tricking a user into processing a maliciously crafted image file with the affected library, the attacker can trigger the integer overflow, resulting in a denial of service such as application crash or resource exhaustion, with no impact on confidentiality or integrity.

Mitigation is addressed in the GitHub pull request at https://github.com/MolotovCherry/Android-ImageMagick7/pull/187, which fixes the issue in version 7.1.2-11. Affected Android applications should update the Android-ImageMagick7 library to 7.1.2-11 or later to prevent exploitation.
