Unsandboxed ImageMagick is known for being a security nightmare even back when PHP ruled the world (not saying sandboxing is a panacea either, it just requires a different and potentially harder exploit to develop a full chain). Difference is it's easier than ever to turn vulnerabilities into full compromises. At some point we'll have to replace all parsers with something at least as safe as https://github.com/google/wuffs right? Otherwise ImageMagick and co. will just keep giving.
