Kenneth William Krugler commented on TIKA-2829:
-----------------------------------------------
Hi Alex - I took a look at the CVE, and from what I can tell it's Javascript
code in the [html-pages|https://github.com/danielcardoso/html-pages] package
that isn't sanitizing paths properly. html-pages is a development http server,
so I can't see any way that the Boilerpipe Java code would be impacted.
If you can clarify, that would be great. If we don't hear back, I'll assume
this is not a bug and close the issue, thanks.
