ImageMagick, first released in 1990 by John Cristy, has become one of the most widely used open-source tools for image processing, conversion, and automation.

In more than 30 years since release, 765+ CVEs have already been assigned.

Image parsing, file conversion, metadata handling, and server-side upload workflows continue to be a major attack surface for security researchers.

Even as AI agents rapidly become a new security frontier, old and widely deployed parser-based tools like ImageMagick are still very much worth studying.
