Go to dashboardImageMagick's coder handling for several formats (EPHEMERAL, HTTPS, MVG, MSL, TEXT, SHOW, WIN, PLT) does not validate input, so shell metacharacters in a crafted image are passed to a shell. A remote attacker who gets a crafted image processed can execute arbitrary code on the server.
