Morphology
underexposed = underexpose (transparent) = under + expose + ed
The meaning 'not given enough publicity' follows directly from 'under' + 'expose' and is readily inferable.
Etymology
Underexposed joins under- 'not enough' with exposed from expose 'to show'. If something is 'exposed' it is seen by the public, so underexposed means it is 'not getting enough attention' or publicity.
