Twitter users @ItsSimonsTime and @David3141593 have discovered a critical flaw in Google's screenshot editing tool, Markup.

Screenshots edited before March can be partially recovered to see how the unedited photo looked like to reveal sensitive information.

The exploit only works with the original PNG files, with apps like Discord or Instagram being affected as many convert your photos to JPG.

The issue affects Pixel devices and Custom ROMs with the Markup tool.

It has been fixed with the March security patch update and you can check if your screenshots work using https://acropalypse.app

We will be making a part two of this post when more information will be available.
