  - Poppler ia a library for rendering PDF files, and examining or modifying their structure. A use-after-free
    (write) vulnerability has been detected in versions Poppler prior to 25.10.0 within the StructTreeRoot
    class. The issue arises from the use of raw pointers to elements of a `std::vector`, which can lead to
    dangling pointers when the vector is resized. The vulnerability stems from the way that refToParentMap
    stores references to `std::vector` elements using raw pointers. These pointers may become invalid when the
    vector is resized. This vulnerability is a common security problem involving the use of raw pointers to
    `std::vectors`. Internally, `std::vector `stores its elements in a dynamically allocated array. When the
    array reaches its capacity and a new element is added, the vector reallocates a larger block of memory and
    moves all the existing elements to the new location. At this point if any pointers to elements are stored
    before a resize occurs, they become dangling pointers once the reallocation happens. Version 25.10.0
    contains a patch for the issue. (CVE-2025-52885)
