CVE-2026-65640 is an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in WordPress media processing when the Imagick extension and Ghostscript are used. WordPress may trust an uploaded file's extension in some media-ingestion paths, while ImageMagick identifies the actual file content. An Author-level user or higher with file-upload capability can upload crafted content disguised as an image that ImageMagick interprets as PostScript, potentially invoking Ghostscript and executing attacker-controlled code. The vulnerable processing is associated with WP_Image_Editor_Imagick::load(); alternate upload paths, including XML-RPC uploads and MP3 cover-art extraction, may bypass normal content inspection before data reaches the Imagick backend.
