The vulnerability exists due to external control of file name or path in pkg/modules/exiftool/exiftool.go when processing metadata write requests through the HTTP API. A remote attacker can supply the HardLink or SymLink pseudo-tags to create hard links or symbolic links at arbitrary paths.
Exploitation was confirmed via the unauthenticated HTTP API, and hard links may persist data beyond temporary directory cleanup.
