Images exposed to the Internet on private instances with federation disabled? (lemmy.ml)

Is this expected behavior?

Prior to enabling "Private Instance" and disabling "Federation enabled" settings, user profiles were also publicly accessible at https://<instance-url>/u/kryoseu.

Making the instance private and disabling federation made profiles inaccessible without authentication. However images are still exposed.
