I'm a bit skeptical as the original article lacks any details or proof by what exploit code execution would be possible somehow embedded in images. Such a vulnerability would have a very high score as it seems to allow remote code execution without user interaction.

So what vulnerability is exploited in the context of WhatsApp? I mean there have been severe vulnerabilities in media or image frameworks, but not even a tiny explanation is provided in the article. I'm sorry but as it is, it's kinda click-bait. The article blabbers with steganography and embedding malicious code with it in images.

Now, why would WhatsApp decode steganography hidden stuff from such images? C'mon, seriously? Who believes this crap? If such a flaw were actually in WhatsApp and mobile phone frameworks, we'd have much more serious problems than the reported "victim" from Jabalpur.
