CVE-2022-2815Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Metadata disclosure via unstripped image EXIF

Published Jan 14, 2023 · Updated Apr 7, 2025

Sensitive metadata exposure in Publify before 9.2.10 allows remote authenticated users to retain EXIF data in uploaded images. ResourceUploader saves image resources without invoking MiniMagick's metadata-stripping operation, leaving embedded EXIF fields intact. Access to the upload workflow is required, and anyone retrieving the stored image can read location, device, or other metadata that its uploader included.
