TRUSTED

This image poses a critical security risk and must not be used in production, especially as an internet-facing service. An attacker could exploit multiple critical vulnerabilities, including XXE in Tika (CVE-2025-66516) and HTTP request smuggling in Netty (CVE-2026-42581), to exfiltrate sensitive data, perform SSRF, bypass authentication, or cause denial of service. Disabling the ingest attachment processor module would fully eliminate the Tika XXE vulnerabilities. The Tika vulnerabilities require the ingest attachment processor to be enabled (default in Elasticsearch for document ingestion).
