IIRC, several years ago, maliciously crafted JPG images introduced vulnerabilities, particularly with respect to broken/vulnerable Microsoft parsing functionality. IMO, if you haven't vetted it, don't pawn it off as secure. I realize their are practical limitations, but simply turning oneself into a blind indirection does not meet a particularly high standard, again IMO. And the other commentor has a point about MITM, even if you decide you trust the image source.
