Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for tika.

CVE-2026-66755[0]:
| Relative Path Traversal in the ISA-Tab parser in Apache Software
| Foundation Apache Tika from 1.8 through 3.3.1, and 4.0.0-alpha-1,
| allows an attacker who can place files in a directory that the
| application subsequently parses to read arbitrary files accessible
| to the Tika process and have their contents emitted into the
| extracted text output, via a "Study Assay File Name" value in the
| ISA-Tab investigation file that traverses outside the dataset
| directory. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.3.2 or
| 4.0.0-beta-1, which fixes this issue.
