The MiniMagick team is reachable via their public GitHub issue tracker. Security policy is not defined.

Security posture

This gem is used internally by CarrierWave and therefore has the same security posture as CarrierWave. The biggest inherent risk in MiniMagick could be somehow triggering an unescaped shell invocation which could be used for arbitrary code execution inside the container, which could allow a container escape. This is still a somewhat unlikely scenario, as the only people capable of interacting with MiniMagick would be administrators.

Abandonment risk

The MiniMagick gem is mature and future releases would primarily be to ensure compatibility and feature-parity with future ImageMagick releases. It is not likely to be abandoned. If it were abandoned, the main concern for future directions would be to ensure no security issues are present and ImageMagick compatibility is retained.

Versioning policy

Any releases will be picked up by bundle during our monthly updates.

We do not pin MiniMagick to any specific version, and rely on CarrierWave having their own versioning policy for MiniMagick.
