Does someone know if this can cause a Visa denial

I have in the past used pictures as old as seven or more years for visa applications (including USA visas) because I could not be bothered to take new ones.

Once the software accepts your picture, you are pretty much covered. You can carry of a more recent representative picture along if that makes you feel more comfortable however I have never heard a case of someone denied a US visa because of a picture.

I have not seen anything in the Foreign Affairs Manual that says reject/deny a visa application because of a picture.

Affixing Photograph to Nonimmigrant Visa Applications: The applicant will either electronically upload a picture file into Form DS-160 or have his/her photo taken at the time when the applicant submits to biometric collection at an Applicant Service Center. In some cases, applicants who are unsuccessful in uploading a photo may have to submit a physical photo to the consular section.

I don’t recommend doing what I did
