A design flaw in image processing software that modifies JPEG images might not modify the original EXIF thumbnail, which could lead to an information leak of potentially sensitive visual information that had been removed from the main JPEG image.

Improper Input Validation in image_processing

image_processing is an image processing wrapper for libvips and ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick. Prior to version 1.12.2, using the `#apply` method from image_processing to apply a series of operations that are coming from unsanitized user input allows the attacker to execute shell commands. This method is called internally by Active Storage variants, so Active Storage is vulnerable as well. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 1.12.2 of image_processing. As a workaround, users who process based on user input should always sanitize the user input by allowing only a constrained set of operations.
