Vulnerability Details
When user sets their donation Privacy level to "Secret" they are indicating that they don't want to be identified by the donation recipient. By exporting the `patron_avatar_url`, in `https://liberapay.com/<account_name>/patrons/export.csv`, the user might be exposed just by doing a reverse image search for such avatar. ## Impact I would hope that there is no gain in trying to deanonymise their donors, but including the avatar should not be needed and I hope it should be an easy fix. I do not wish to be compensated in any way, the reason for using HackerOne is just that I don't want to disclose the issue on Github. Thank you for your great service! :)
