Hi Tilman,

All what we're doing is trying to detect file MIME type by calling

MediaType detect(InputStream var1, Metadata var2) throws IOException;

Of Detector interface. We do not have anything else than tika-core 1.28.5 in 
the classpath. So, my understanding is that we do not parse PDF. Correct ?

Be sure that we upgraded our software where it was possible, i.e., for versions 
compatible with Java 11+. For older versions, it's obviously not possible.

Regards,
Nicolas

Thanks for your answer Tilman. Two more questions:

  *   When do you think 2.9.5 version will be officially released ?

Never. 2.x  is over.

  *
  *   Currently, I'm using version 1.28.5 without embedding tika-parsers in my 
classpath. Am I still vulnerable ? I think answer is yes, but if you could 
confirm this, that would be great.

Do you parse PDFs? Then you're vulnerable. You shouldn't use outdated software:

No, but you can download an unofficial build here where this has been fixed and 
which uses the latest versions of libraries.

Hello,

I understand that CVE-2025-66516 / CVE-2025-54988 are fixed in Tika 3.2.2. This 
is fine for the latest version of our software which is using Java 17, but 
older versions of our software are still in Java 8. Would it be possible to get 
a fix compatible with Java 8 ? I understood from 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TIKA/Tika+Roadmap+--+2.x%2C+3.x+and+Beyond
 that Java 8 is not supported anymore, but knowing the criticity of the vuln, 
it would be great to have a fix for Java 8 as well.

Thanks and Regards,
Nicolas
