How worried Pixel users should be about the problem is difficult to determine. A future FAQ page that Aarons and Buchanan shared with 9to5Google and The Verge will state that some websites, including Twitter, process photos in a way that prevents someone from using the flaw to reverse-edit a screenshot or image. Other platform users aren’t that fortunate. Aarons and Buchanan single out Discord, stating that the chat application didn’t fix the vulnerability until its most recent update on January 17. It’s currently unknown if photos published on other social media platforms and communication applications were similarly exposed.
