โ ๏ธ Critical XXE Bug in Apache Tika (CVE-2025-66516)
thehackernews.com/2025/12/crโฆ
A newly disclosed XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability (CVE-2025-66516, CVSS 10.0) affects multiple Tika modules, tika-core (versions 1.13-3.2.1), tika-pdf-module (2.0.0-3.2.1) and tika-parsers (1.13-1.28.5).
By processing a crafted PDF containing a malicious XFA component, an attacker can trigger XXE injection that may allow arbitrary file reads on the server, SSRF or even remote code execution.
