Worked on the dotCMS/core repository to deliver a targeted security enhancement by upgrading the Bouncy Castle cryptography library from version 1.81 to 1.84, directly addressing the CVE-2025-14813 vulnerability. Focused on dependency management using XML, the developer ensured that related modules such as tika-parsers-standard-package and tika-parser-crypto-module were also updated, maintaining full compatibility with existing installations. The approach emphasized risk reduction and system stability, with thorough verification to confirm no breaking changes or user-facing disruptions. This work improved the security posture of production environments while preserving operational continuity, demonstrating careful attention to compliance and collaborative release practices.
