Tesseract Project maintains an open-source optical character recognition library widely embedded in document processing and accessibility applications, where disclosed vulnerabilities have centered on arithmetic handling and file-system race conditions within its image-parsing pipeline. The recurring weakness classes—divide-by-zero flaws and improper link resolution during file access—reflect the computational demands of rasterization and the library's interaction with untrusted input and file paths. Current severity, exploitation, and exposure counts are shown alongside this summary.
