“Unfortunately, it only took us a few minutes to come across this serious vulnerability,” Tschirsich told the. “The vulnerability is so simple that it can be exploited by anyone with a browser within a few minutes.”
Christie’s allows potential sellers to upload images of artwork that the auction house will evaluate, estimating the pieces’ value and deciding whether it’s interested in putting them under the hammer. But those photos can include the GPS coordinates of where they were taken, with the researchers estimating that about 10 percent of the Christie’s images had that precise geolocation. In all, they say that hundreds of possible clients were exposed to the flaw.
