How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 tika to version 1.20-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tika package and not the tika package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Apache Tika 0.9 to 1.18, in a rare edge case where a user does not specify an extract directory on the commandline (--extract-dir=) and the input file has an embedded file with an absolute path, such as "C:/evil.bat", tika-app would overwrite that file.
