FAUCET Score

CVE-2020-1950 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in Apache Tika's PSDParser (versions 1.0-1.23) where a specially crafted PSD file can lead to excessive memory consumption. This medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.5) requires user interaction (UI:R) and local access (AV:L) to trigger, with the primary impact being high availability loss (A:H). There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
