Release 14.0.0

We are happy to announce new major version 14.0 of EXT:tika for TYPO3 14 LTS.

Note: Solr Cell support is dropped since EXT:solr 14.0.0, because Apache Solr dropped it. See: #180 for more information.

---

What's Changed

!!! [TASK] Remove Solr Cell support

Apache Solr no longer ships a proper Content Extraction Library (Solr Cell), so using an EXT:solr connection as a Tika extractor is not possible anymore. The "Solr Server" extractor, its EM configuration (solrScheme, solrHost, solrPort, ...) and SolrCellService have been removed.

Registration of MetaDataExtractor and LanguageDetector no longer happens manually in ext_localconf.php via ExtractorRegistry::registerExtractionService(), which is a no-op since TYPO3 14. Both extractors already implement ExtractorInterface, so TYPO3 14 registers them automatically - no action required on your side.

Impact:

• extractor = solr is no longer a valid EXT:tika configuration value.
• apache-solr-for-typo3/solr is only required as a dev-dependency for tests and tooling, not at runtime anymore.

---

[FEATURE] Basic-Auth and timeouts for Tika Server

The Server extractor now supports HTTP Basic-Auth (tikaServerUsername/tikaServerPassword, both masked) and configurable connect/request timeouts (tikaServerConnectTimeoutMs/tikaServerRequestTimeoutMs, 100-60000 ms). Any other Guzzle client option (verify, proxy, cert, ...) can be set via tikaServerGuzzleOptions in config/system/additional.php. See Configuration of Tika Server for details.

---

[SECURITY] Escape backend output to prevent XSS and shell injection

This change hardens the backend output to prevent XSS and shell injection vulnerabilities.

---

[BUGFIX] Metadata extraction improvements

• Harden date parsing and improve Tika server error handling
• Add exception handling to metadata extraction
• Deduplicate array values in metadata normalization

---

[DOCS] Warn about skipSecurityChecks re-exposing known CVEs

Documentation updated to clarify security implications of the skipSecurityChecks configuration option.

---

[TASK] TYPO3 v14 compatibility

• Replace removed StandaloneView with ViewFactoryInterface
• Fix PHPStan level 6 compliance issues
• Update GitHub Actions versions

Release 13.1.0

What's Changed

!!! [FEATURE] Support Apache Tika 3.2.3+ and Solr 9.10.1+ versions only

This change addresses the CVE-2025-54988 and updates the Tika Server/App to v. 3.2.3+.
Due of CVE-2025-54988, we are droping support for Tika <3.2.2 and Apache Solr <9.10.1.

Note:
Insecure versions of Tika Server/App or Solr Cell will lead to missing functionality.
No log entries will be created, EXT:tika will silently not work on insecure versions.
You can ignore the security issues on your own risk by setting:
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTENSIONS']['tika']['skipSecurityChecks'] = true

Fixes: #218, #233, #250

---

!!! [TASK] Remove Tika Server BE Module

This change removes deprecated and not recommended BE module
for stopping and starting apache Tika Server.

Please use proper approach for that, consult your Dev-Ops, use Hosted-Solr or Docker.

Fixes: #135

---

!!! [TASK] Remove possibility to download the Tika server binary

This is the follow up of CVE-2025-66516 / CVE-2025-54988 task,
removing possibility to download the Tika server jar file.
The binary of server file is not required anymore within EXT:tika,
due of removement of Tika Server administration Module in TYPO3.
Please use proper DevOps operational style for running Apache Tika server.

Impact:

Following commands and/or options do not exist anymore:

• composer tika:download:app
• composer tika:download:server
• -a, -A, --app-only
• -s, -S, --server-only

Relates: #135
