If that's their plan, I predict another situation exactly like this one where Google decides that removing support is the best move forward. Careful, BMP, Chrom

If that's their plan, I predict another situation exactly like this one where Google decides that removing support is the best move forward. Careful, BMP, Chrome is out to get you!

BMP decoding may seem easy and fun (I wrote a toy decoder back in the day), but the vulnerabilities are real: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-32468 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-32468 It's not the format, it's the C / C++ unfortunate baggage.

Happy to report the BMP work is actually being done by our friends on the Edge team at Microsoft! https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/7208236 https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/72...

  This actually seems to use the encoder/decoder from the Rust image crate (1), which would bring the opportunity for more memory safe formats once BMP would be accepted. (1) https://crates.io/crates/image https://crates.io/crates/image
