This image poses a critical security risk and must not be used in production, especially as an internet-facing service. An attacker could exploit critical vulnerabilities such as CVE-2025-66516 (XXE in Tika) to exfiltrate sensitive data, CVE-2026-42581 (request smuggling) to bypass security controls, or CVE-2026-54512 (Jackson RCE) to execute arbitrary code on the server. These vulnerabilities require no special configuration and are directly accessible via the Elasticsearch REST API or document ingestion pipeline.
