Exiftool Project

Exiftool Project maintains a utility for reading and writing metadata across a wide range of image and media file formats, and its attack surface centers on the parsing and interpretation of untrusted file structures. The recurring weakness classes in its disclosure profile reflect the inherent risks of command-line tools that process and transform file metadata: OS command injection, code injection, and improper handling of search paths represent the core exposures where file-driven input can escape its intended parsing scope and flow into system execution contexts. Current exploitation activity and exposure counts are shown alongside this summary.
