Image Metadata
Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists a Burp Suite extension, version 2.1.2 by Philippe Arteau, that extracts metadata from image files during reconnaissance. The listing states the information found is rarely critical but can reveal usernames of file creators, local paths, and technologies used, and rates overall system impact as Low.
What's compelling: The extension's own listing concedes the findings are rarely critical, yet usernames and local file paths pulled from images are exactly the kind of detail that seeds credential guessing and internal path mapping - and this one was last updated in December 2021.
