Is parsing untrusted images inherently problematic?

If I open my (untrusted) downloads folder using Gnome Files and it displays (and therefore parses) the contained images, is that a security issue I should be concerned about?

(I would have assumed that (e.g.) Javascript in PDFs could be problematic, but not a simple preview.)
