Geolocation disclosure via retained image EXIF metadata
Published Jun 20, 2026 · Updated Jun 20, 2026
Information disclosure in Capgo before 12.128.2 allows remote attackers to obtain location data from uploaded account images. The personal-image upload path stores and serves image files as-is instead of removing server-side EXIF fields, including GPS latitude and longitude. Exposure requires a user to upload a geotagged image and the attacker to access its served URL; the disclosed consequence is the image creator's capture location.
