## Recent Security Fixes
### CVE-2023-36464: PyPDF2/pypdf Infinite Loop Vulnerability ✅ FIXED (2026-02-12)
**Severity:** Moderate (CVSS: 5.5)
**CVE:** [CVE-2023-36464](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-36464)
**Advisory:** [GHSA-4vvm-4w3v-6mr8](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-4vvm-4w3v-6mr8)
**Issue:** Certain versions of PyPDF2 (>=2.2.0, <=3.0.1) and pypdf (prior to 3.9.0) contain a vulnerability where specially crafted PDF files can trigger an infinite loop in `__parse_content_stream`, causing 100% CPU usage and potential denial of service.
**Impact:**
- **Availability:** High (can block process and consume 100% CPU)
- **Confidentiality:** None
- **Integrity:** None
- **Attack Vector:** Local
- **Privileges Required:** None
**Remediation:**
- Upgraded from `PyPDF2>=3.0.0` (vulnerable) to `pypdf>=3.9.0` (fixed)
- Updated all imports from `PyPDF2` to `pypdf` across the codebase
- Verified pypdf 6.7.0 installed successfully
- **Files Updated:**
- `requirements.txt` - Updated dependency specification
- `app/tasks/process_document.py`
- `app/tasks/rotate_pdf_pages.py`
- `app/utils/file_splitting.py`
- `app/tasks/embed_metadata_into_pdf.py`
- `app/tasks/process_with_azure_document_intelligence.py`
- `app/views/files.py`
- `app/api/files.py`
- `tests/test_external_integrations.py`
- `tests/test_file_splitting.py`
**Testing:** All affected modules verified for syntax correctness and basic import functionality.
