| Title | Exiftool Project Exiftool Before 13.54 Code Injection |
|---|
| Description | A code injection vulnerability in ExifTool's GM.pm module allows arbitrary command execution when processing a crafted JPEG/QuickTime/MOV/MP4 file with the -ee (ExtractEmbedded) option.
The vulnerability exists because user-controlled data from the file is interpolated into a Perl qq() string that is later passed to eval, and the sanitization filter is incomplete.
Affected versions: All versions containing GM.pm (introduced 2024-04-01, present in 13.x through at least 13.53)
