I really don't like these kinds of alarmist reports if they are not actually saying what the problems are and how they can lead to actual, real, serious attacks. A lot of claimed "high CVSS" vulnerabilities aren't when you put them in context, and sometimes vice versa.

Yes, we should strive to be a lot better and maintaining dependencies is one thing that generally everyone in modern development does bad, but this sort of alarmist posts that have no concrete examples generally just lead to people ignoring the whole field/industry. If those images are exploitable in the ways they are intended to be used highlight that. If it's as bad as this post makes it sound then that should be easy.
