Security
- Keeping ImageMagick up-to-date. The latest releases have fixes for any security flaws we discovered in the past;
- Sanitizing any filenames or command-line options you pass to ImageMagick;
- Running ImageMagick in a sanitized software container such as Docker;
- Running ImageMagick as the least-privileged user (e.g. ‘nobody’);
- Explicitly setting the image file type. For example, use the filename png:image.png rather than image.png. Without an explicit image type in the filename, ImageMagick guesses the image type.
- Do not create temporary files in shared directories, instead specify a private area to store only ImageMagick temporary files by setting the temporary-path security policy or the -define registry:temporary-path=/data/magick command-line option.
