Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-4whq-r978-2x68/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-4whq-r978-2x68/index.md)","id":"GHSA-4whq-r978-2x68","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-4whq-r978-2x68/index.md","name":"GHSA-4whq-r978-2x68","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ExifTool library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into processing malicious image files with ExifTool.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"### Impact\n\nArbitrary code execution can occur when running `exiftool` against files with hostile metadata payloads.\n\n### Patches\n\nExifTool has already been patched in version 12.24. exiftool-vendored, which vendors ExifTool, includes this patch in v14.3.0.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nNo.\n\n### References\n\nhttps://twitter.com/wcbowling/status/1385803927321415687\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-22204\n\n### For more information\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n* Open an issue in [exiftool-vendored](https://github.com/photostructure/exiftool-vendored.js)","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Arbitrary code execution in ExifTool","id":"GHSA-4whq-r978-2x68","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"advisory","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2021"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["14.3.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"exiftool-vendored","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4whq-r978-2x68"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["14.3.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"exiftool-vendored","purl":"pkg:npm/exiftool-vendored","source":"GHSA-4whq-r978-2x68"}],"products":null,"published":"2021-05-04","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into processing malicious image files with ExifTool.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-4whq-r978-2x68/"}
