GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

CVE-2018-1335 (GCVE-0-2018-1335)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-04-25 21:00 – Updated: 2024-09-17 03:58
VLAI Shadowserver Previdian
Summary
From Apache Tika versions 1.7 to 1.17, clients could send carefully crafted headers to tika-server that could be used to inject commands into the command line of the server running tika-server. This vulnerability only affects those running tika-server on a server that is open to untrusted clients. The mitigation is to upgrade to Tika 1.18.
