MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 2.74%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.74%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
A carefully crafted or corrupt file may trigger an infinite loop in Tika's MP3Parser up to and including Tika 1.25. Apache Tika users should upgrade to 1.26 or later.
