Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
A carefully crafted or corrupt PSD file can cause excessive memory usage in Apache Tika's PSDParser.

Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition (Infinite Loop)
A carefully crafted or corrupt sqlite file can cause an infinite loop in Apache Tika's `SQLite3Parser`.

Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition (Infinite Loop)
A carefully crafted or corrupt file may trigger an infinite loop in Tika's MP3Parser

Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition (Infinite Loop)
A carefully crafted (or fuzzed) file can trigger an infinite loop in Apache Tika `ChmParser`.

Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference
In Apache Tika, the XML parsers were not configured to limit entity expansion. They were therefore vulnerable to an entity expansion vulnerability which can lead to a DoS.

Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference
Tika reuses SAXParsers and calls `reset()` after each parse; the parser ignores entity expansion limits after the first parse.

Out of memory
A carefully crafted or corrupt zip file can cause an OOM in Apache Tika's `RecursiveParserWrapper`.

Path Traversal
In a rare edge case where a user does not specify an extract directory on the commandline (`--extract-dir=`) and the input file has an embedded file with an absolute path, tika-app would overwrite that file.

Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition (Infinite Loop)
In Apache Tikato, a carefully crafted file can trigger an infinite loop in the `IptcAnpaParser`.

Apache Tika has XXE vulnerability
Critical XXE in Apache Tika tika-core (1.13-3.2.1), tika-pdf-module (2.0.0-3.2.1) and tika-parsers (1.13-1.28.5) modules on all platforms allows an attacker to carry out XML External Entity injection via a crafted XFA file inside of a PDF.

This CVE covers the same vulnerability as in CVE-2025-54988. However, this CVE expands the scope of affected packages in two ways.

First, while the entrypoint for the vulnerability was the tika-parser-pdf-module as reported in CVE-2025-54988, the vulnerability and its fix were in tika-core. Users who upgraded the tika-parser-pdf-module but did not upgrade tika-core to >= 3.2.2 would still be vulnerable.

Second, the original report failed to mention that in the 1.x Tika releases, the PDFParser was in the "org.apache.tika:tika-parsers" module.

Stack buffer overflow
A carefully crafted package/compressed file that, when unzipped/uncompressed yields the same file (a quine), causes a `StackOverflowError` in Apache Tika's `RecursiveParserWrapper`.
