CVE-2025-53015 affects ImageMagick, a free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on July 14, 2025, affecting versions prior to 7.1.2-0. The issue involves infinite lines occurring when writing during a specific XMP file conversion command (NVD, GitHub Advisory).

The vulnerability is classified as a Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition (Infinite Loop) vulnerability (CWE-835). The issue occurs in the GetXmpNumeratorAndDenominator function where the loop 'while(fabs(df - value) > MagickEpsilon)' continues indefinitely. The vulnerability has received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (High) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, indicating it can be exploited remotely without requiring privileges or user interaction (GitHub Advisory).

The vulnerability results in a denial of service condition through an infinite loop during XMP profile writing operations. When exploited, it causes the application to hang, making the service unavailable (GitHub Advisory).
