CVE-2026-7580

#!/usr/bin/perl # PoC for CVE-2026-7580 (Conceptual) # This script demonstrates how the vulnerability in Exiftool <= 13.53 # could be triggered by processing a malicious file with the -ee flag. use strict; use warnings; use Image::ExifTool; # Create an ExifTool object my $exifTool = Image::ExifTool->new; # Specify the malicious file (e.g., crafted MOV/MP4) # The file must contain specific metadata to exploit Process_mrld my $malicious_file = 'exploit_sample.mov'; # Enable the ExtractEmbedded option (-ee) # This is the parameter manipulation that triggers the vulnerability $exifTool->Options(ExtractEmbedded => 1); # Process the file # In a vulnerable version, this triggers code injection via Process_mrld my $info = $exifTool->ImageInfo($malicious_file); print "Processing complete. Check for code execution.\n";

Impacted is the function Process_mrld of the file lib/Image/ExifTool/GM.pm of the component JPEG/QuickTime/MOV/MP4. The manipulation of the argument -ee results in code injection. Attacking locally is a requirement. Upgrading to version 13.54 is recommended to address this issue. The patch is identified as 5a8b6b6ead12b39e3f32f978a4efd0233facbb01. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component. The fix in the source code mentions: \"[J]ust to be safe, probably never happen\"."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV40": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "cvssData": {"version": "4.0", "vectorString": "CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X", "baseScore": 1.9, "baseSeverity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackRequirements": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vulnConfidentialityImpact": "LOW", "vulnIntegrityImpact": "LOW", "vulnAvailabilityImpact": "LOW", "subConfidentialityImpact": "NONE", "subIntegrityImpact": "NONE", "subAvailabilityImpact": "NONE", "exploitMaturity": "PROOF_OF_CONCEPT", "confidentialityRequirement": "NOT_DEFINED", "integrityRequirement": "NOT_DEFINED", "availabilityRequirement": "NOT_DEFINED", "modifiedAttackVector": "NOT_DEFINED", "modifiedAttackComplexity": "NOT_DEFINED", "modifiedAttackRequirements": "NOT_DEFINED", "modifiedPrivilegesRequired": "NOT_DEFINED", "modifiedUserInteraction": "NOT_DEFINED", "modifiedVulnConfidentialityImpact": "NOT_DEFINED", "modifiedVulnIntegrityImpact": "NOT_DEFINED", "modifiedVulnAvailabilityImpact": "NOT_DEFINED", "modifiedSubConfidentialityImpact": "NOT_DEFINED", "modifiedSubIntegrityImpact": "NOT_DEFINED", "modifiedSubAvailabilityImpact": "NOT_DEFINED", "Safety": "NOT_DEFINED", "Automatable": "NOT_DEFINED", "Recovery": "NOT_DEFINED", "valueDensity": "NOT_DEFINED", "vulnerabilityResponseEffort": "NOT_DEFINED", "providerUrgency": "NOT_DEFINED"}}], "cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L", "baseScore": 5.3, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "LOW", "integrityImpact": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "LOW"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 3.4}], "cvssMetricV2": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "cvssData": {"version": "2.0", "vectorString": "AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P", "baseScore": 4.3, "accessVector": "LOCAL", "accessComplexity": "LOW", "authentication": "SINGLE", "confidentialityImpact": "PARTIAL", "integrityImpact": "PARTIAL", "availabilityImpact": "PARTIAL"}, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "exploitabilityScore": 3.1, "impactScore": 6.4, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-74"}, {"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-94"}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/commit/5a8b6b6ead12b39e3f32f978a4efd0233facbb01", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/commit/5a8b6b6ead12b39e3f32f978a4efd0233facbb01#diff-5a95c56c6f98f0aa538233fd81bb9967154f3e9ebd4126a98dfb126c4c5629a4", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/releases/tag/13.54", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://vuldb.com/submit/800049", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://vuldb.com/vuln/360421", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://vuldb.com/vuln/360421/cti", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://youtu.be/WktMPapQxlM", "source": "[email protected]"}]}}
