This updated version of IrfanView includes updates to both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of 5 plugins. Critically, it includes a security patch for the WebP plugin to fix an issue allowing code execution.

The publisher updated some plugins after the 4.62 release but hasn't done another release yet. See here: https://www.irfanview.com/plugins.htm

One of those updates, the one to WebP, has a critical security patch to address an exploit that's in the wild. So, I released a new package of IrfanView Portable with all the updated plugins.

Yes indeed. So the WebP exploit is patched in the portable version, automatically for PA.c Platform users. I did this a while back when OpenOffice patched an exploit without releasing an updated version leaving users at risk. You're welcome.
