Production-ready configuration files and security policies to restrict memory, execution limits, and disk mapping in production pipelines.
In production Linux environments, update /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml to restrict memory to 256MiB, map to 512MiB, and maximum area to 64MP.
In Node.js with Sharp, always configure { limitInputPixels: 268402689 } to reject decompression bombs before memory allocation.
