Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Magick.NET-Q16 NuGet packages (AnyCPU, HDRI, OpenMP and architecture-specific variants) before 14.10.4 are affected. ImageMagick's path policy is checked before a file is opened, so an attacker who can swap a symlink between that check and the actual use can bypass policy-denied reads and writes. Upgrade to version 14.10.4 or later. The source gives few details on the exact conditions required for exploitation.
