Severe vulnerability found in all browsers, and it's being attacked | PCWorldA severe vulnerability has been found in libwebp, a code library used to render webp images, reports Stack Diary. Webp is a popular image format used by many sites on the Internet – but also by apps and some other software that use web views – and the vulnerability can be used, among other things, to run malicious code on affected devices. Worse yet, it is reportedly being actively exploited by malicious attackers.

Also, the MIME type can be changed. At my own website the code checks for that crap...

Many thanks for the heads up guys!! Chrome, Firefox and Edge all updated ....
I guess Google will patch WebP code soon. That's why I prefer PNG myself.
