{
Edit /etc/ImageMagick-7/policy.xml (or -6 for older branches) and add a denial rule for the SIXEL coder:
<policymap>
<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="SIXEL" />
</policymap>
Restart any application servers or workers using ImageMagick (e.g. systemctl restart apache2 or relevant container pods). Verify with:
convert -list format | grep -i sixel
# should show "SIXEL" with no read/write permissions
Rollback: Remove the policy line and restart services. SIXEL is a legacy DEC terminal format; disabling it has minimal impact on modern workflows.
Upgrade to 7.1.2-16+ or 6.9.13-41+ as soon as vendor packages are available.
