Please send the information and your request to the developer of IrfanView. Irfan does not read this forum.
You'll find his E-Mail at Help > About IrfanView...
Be so kind to tell us what he answered.

Literally everything that uses Libwebp is affected by it. That would include Irfanview.

But it's less of a problem for games that don't load user-generated images.

Unlike an Image Viewer application where loading user-generated images is the entire point of the program.

Done, no reply from him so far. If he does not read this forum, then I ask myself why he has put a link to this forum on his homepage.

Irfan Skiljan is the sole developer for IrfanView. There are millions of users; mostly using the free version, no doubt.
Hopefully, other users can solve most issues with troubling Irfan.

What is IrfanView?

Received a mail from Irfan. He stated that the main program is not affected, but he will update the affected WebP plugin.
