Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability specifically affects Apache Tika's BPG parser (CVE-2022-25169). The CWE-400/770 classification indicates uncontrolled memory allocation during file parsing. While exact code isn't available, the BPGParser.parse method would be responsible for handling file input and metadata extraction. Attack vectors typically involve unchecked dimension values leading to oversized buffer allocations. The high confidence comes from the direct association between the vulnerability description, affected component (BPG parser), and common memory allocation patterns in image parsers.
