If you believe you've found a security vulnerability in pdf-inspector, please report it privately so we can fix it before public disclosure.
Preferred: Email help@firecrawl.dev with:
- A description of the issue and its impact
- Steps to reproduce (a minimal PDF or input that triggers the bug is ideal)
- The version or commit hash of pdf-inspector you tested against
Alternative: Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting under the Security tab.
We'll acknowledge your report in a timely manner and keep you updated on remediation progress. Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security bugs.
In scope:
- Memory-safety issues (panics, OOB reads, UB) reachable from a crafted PDF
- Denial-of-service vectors (unbounded allocation, infinite loops) on reasonably-sized inputs
- Bugs in the
pdf2md/detect-pdfbinaries or thepdf-inspectorcrate that affect downstream consumers
Out of scope:
- Bugs in upstream dependencies (
lopdf, etc.) — please report those upstream - Extraction quality issues (wrong text, missing tables) — open a regular GitHub issue instead
