vulnerability in popular ‘libwebp’
-
I have a question regarding WordPress allowing users to upload webp format since WordPress 5.8 (https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/2021/06/07/wordpress-5-8-adds-webp-support/). This article said, “In WordPress, the lossless WebP format is only supported when the hosting server uses Imagick (the PHP library) until LibGD adds support.” WordPress uses Imagick. and Imagick is a PHP extension that uses ImageMagick right
Also, I found an article on how to add WebP support for ImageMagick. (https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/discussions/5812)
Based on that, I found the article about a vulnerability in the popular “libwebp”. (https://therecord.media/libwebp-vulnerability-more-widespread-than-expected). in this article said “The vulnerable library was “found in several popular container images’ latest versions, collectively downloaded and deployed billions of times, such as Nginx, Python, Joomla, WordPress, Node.js, and more.””
The question is, does WordPress use libwebp to allow users to upload WebP format?
