  - 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. (CVE-2018-1335)
