Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.51%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
ImageMagick before 6.9.11-40 and 7.x before 7.0.10-40 mishandles the -authenticate option, which allows setting a password for password-protected PDF files. The user-controlled password was not properly escaped/sanitized and it was therefore possible to inject additional shell commands via coders/pdf.c.
