Image attachments rotated since the update

Affected version
2.3.7
Yesterday, I installed the latest update, V2.3.7. When attachments are uploaded to posts or the gallery, they are either rotated 90°, 180°, or sometimes not rotated at all. This problem did not occur before the update.
 
I haven't been able to re-produce this on at least 2 sites so far, both with XFMG 2.3.5 -- and I did a few upload tests with various images and couldn't get the issue to trigger, so far?

Everyone with issues, using XFMG?
What sort of optimization settings do you have enabled?
Any other addons that touch image handling?

Just curious if there if there any common denominator aside from 2.3.7 update.

Edit: does it have to be a specific attachment type or something?
This post above says it happens when attaching the image through 'Attach Files'.
I've tried various sizes and formats, with 0 success to reproduce this on two other sites that have upgraded already. (existing images don't appear to be impacted, at least so far...) This is kind of why I asked if there were any other factors to consider in my other post above.

That's what I used to attach it here but I couldn't get it to do a flip

Tried on my 2.3 forum and here, not finding an issue....perhaps related to a specific mobile/desktop and browser combo?

This photo was taken yesterday with my Pixel 7 running Chrome. No edits.

Won't happen to a graphic or edited photo. Will happen to an unedited photo where EXIF orientation data is not honored. An edited photo resaves to the orientation it is being edited in. Your camera roll has pictures taken from all different orientations (phone positions) and your phone's software corrects this by reading the intended orientation (via EXIF). This EXIF data (it looks like) is not being honored in 2.3.7.

I upgraded from 2.3.4 where this was not an issue.

I am not using webp. No changes.

Thanks

Directly from my iPhone photos. Seems to display as expected

I flipped this one on my phone and uploaded it. (Below ⬇️)

Try uploading this image here that the OP sent me:

Works fine when uploaded through the editor icon but does not through the Attach files button (also affects media gallery uploads).

It happens with and without webp conversion enabled.
