Processing such an image causes excessive memory consumption and can terminate the host process (out-of-memory).\n\nAny application that calls `ExifReader.load()` on untrusted images, for example, user uploads in a web service, is affected. ICC profiles are carried in JPEG, TIFF, PNG, HEIC, AVIF, JPEG XL, and WebP, so the issue is reachable from any of those formats.\n\n### Patches\n\nFixed in `exifreader@4.39.0`. Upgrade with:\n\n    npm install exifreader@latest\n\nBower users consume the bundled `dist/` files from this repository, and the same fix is committed there.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nIf upgrading is not immediately possible, configure a custom build that excludes the `icc` module so that ICC parsing (and therefore this code path) is skipped entirely.\n\n### Resources\n\n- Patch: https://github.com/mattiasw/ExifReader/commit/c9d88b67e127b2dcc7b46e328df468257fb2d","public_affected_ranges":[">= 2.10.0, < 4.39.0"]}],"null_published_at":"2026-11-04T10:04:27.898Z","source_updated_at":"2026-07-17T16:51:54.000Z","source_disclosed_at":"2026-05-29T17:58:37.000Z","is_synthetic_fixture":false,"null_last_reviewed_at":null,"public_change_summary":"First indexed by Null; source disclosure date is shown separately.","null_first_observed_at":"2026-11-04T09:59:26.779Z"}],"next_cursor":null,"snapshot_revision":"42594"}
