HEIF Heist: Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities in Image Parsers
HEIF Heist is a class of remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities affecting image parsers that process HEIF, HEIC, and AVIF formats. It exploits native C/C++ libraries like libheif, exposing systems to memory corruption and data exfiltration, with recommended mitigations including updating to patched versions and isolating image-processing pipelines.
