CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade hfiguiere/exempi to version 2.4.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. An issue was discovered in Exempi before 2.4.3. The VPXChunk class in XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/WEBP_Support.cpp does not ensure nonzero widths and heights, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted .webp file.
