Authenticated metadata disclosure via unstripped image EXIF
Published Jul 8, 2026 · Updated Jul 8, 2026
Information disclosure in Capgo before 12.128.2 allows remote authenticated users to expose EXIF metadata through app information uploads. The app information endpoint accepts uploaded images without removing EXIF fields, including GPS coordinates and other embedded metadata. A valid low-privilege account and a crafted image upload are required; the reported impact is limited to metadata disclosure.
