A critical XXE vulnerability, CVE-2025-66516, has been discovered in Apache Tika, putting any workflow that processes PDFs at serious risk. A malicious PDF can trigger the exploit through any Tika workflow, silently giving attackers access to sensitive files, internal URLs, cloud metadata, and your internal network. AppTrana blocks these malicious PDFs at the edge, keeping your data and internal systems secure.

30% of open source vulnerabilities are marked “unfixable”. Not because they can’t be fixed but because traditional tools stop there. Your customers don’t care. They just see unresolved CVEs. And they won’t sign off on software that fails a scan. That’s where the real business risk lies. In mid-size software companies, “unfixable” means delayed deals, failed audits, and lost revenue. Seal Security was built to close that 30% gap.

Automatic updates were supposed to make us safer. Instead, they’ve become one of the easiest entry points for supply-chain attacks. When a public repository is compromised, an attacker uploads a malicious version and waits, for 30 minutes to a few hours, before the community detects and removes it. During that window, automated tools like Dependabot can pull that version straight into production. That small window of time is enough to compromise thousands of systems.

Most teams think vulnerability scanning equals progress. But scanning without effective remediation is just expensive noise. Two things block real fixes: Meanwhile, our own research shows as much as 30% of vulnerabilities in transitive dependencies remain unresolved, simply because upgrades break production. That means most organizations aren’t “secure”. They’re sitting on unfixed issues their scanners excluded.
