AVIF is funny because they kept the worst aspects of WebP (lossy video based encoding), while removing the best (lossless mode) There was an attempt at WebP2, using AV1 and a proper lossless mode, but Google killed that off as well.
But hey, now that they’re releasing AV2 soon, we’ll eventually have an incompatible AVIF2 to deal with. Good thing they didn’t support JPEG-XL, it’d just be too confusing to have to deal with multiple formats.
And it’s more of a video format than an image format, lots of juicy attack surface

16 CVE’s for libjpeg just last year: https://app.opencve.io/cve/?vendor=jpeg
Sounds like avif
