Comment:

 Hello @carloscastilloadhoc,

 Welcome to WordPress Trac! Thank you for this ticket.

 Introduced in #46866 and changeset [49207], a check is missing for
 `get_userdata()` as it returns `false` when no user is found. At a
 minimum, this code should be guarded. Moving this ticket into 5.6.1 to add
 this guard.

 For the case where an image is programmatically created without an
 assigned user, more discussions is needed. Pinging @antpb @garrett-eclipse
 for their thoughts.
