Tim Allison commented on TIKA-2829:
-----------------------------------
Are you able to submit a unit test that shows this vulnerability in action in
the Tika framework...ideally via a patch to [email protected]
Would this vulnerability be triggered by users who take the output of Tika and
display it in a browser?
Thank you!
