Hello Phil Harvey,
I have a question about ExifTool from our security department:
Does ExifTool use web sockets?

Thank you very much for an answer!

No.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Make sure you read Security Issues on the main page. The tl;dr is that exiftool can execute Perl code, so it would be the same security as having Perl or Python or any other interpreted programming language installed.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

That is only if the caller allows certain options to be passed to ExifTool
