Security Policy

Supported versions

Only the latest commit on main is supported. There are no maintained older versions.

Reporting a vulnerability

Do not open a public issue for a security problem.

Report privately via GitHub's Security Advisories for this repository, or email pjpkirby@pm.me with a description, the input that triggers it (or a redacted/synthetic reproduction if the PDF is sensitive), and the impact you'd expect.

Expect an initial response within 7 days. This is a solo-maintained utility, not a funded project — fixes ship as time allows, not on an SLA.

Scope

This tool runs entirely locally: no network calls, no telemetry, no data leaves the machine it runs on. The realistic risk surface is:

  • A malicious PDF triggering unsafe behaviour in PyMuPDF, Pillow, or Tesseract (the parsing/rendering/OCR dependencies) — report upstream too if you can reproduce it there.
  • Path handling that could write outside the intended output directory.

Report anything in that shape here even if you're unsure it's exploitable.

There aren't any published security advisories
