# Description of Changes
- **What was changed**
- **CI**: Enhanced `build.yml` to publish JaCoCo coverage and post a PR
summary comment per matrix job (Spring Security/JDK). Also archives
JaCoCo XML reports alongside existing test results.
- **Tests (new & expanded)**: Added a broad set of unit tests across
`app/common`, `app/core`, and `app/proprietary` modules, e.g.:
- Common: `ShowAdminInterfaceTest`, `UnsupportedClaimExceptionTest`,
`ExceptionUtilsTest`, `TempDirectoryTest`, etc.
- Core: `ConnectedInputStreamTest`, `ReplaceAndInvertColorFactoryTest`,
controller/model/service tests (e.g. `SettingsControllerTest`,
`ApiEndpointTest`, `FlexibleCSVWriterTest`,
`MetricsAggregatorServiceTest`, etc.).
- Proprietary: security/database/model/web tests (e.g.
`H2SQLConditionTest`, `JPATokenRepositoryImplTest`,
`AuditWebFilterTest`, `CorrelationIdFilterTest`, etc.).
- **JUnit 5 cleanup**: Consolidated assertion imports (`import static
org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.*`), standardized on Jupiter APIs, and
minor Mockito/Jupiter setup tweaks.
- **Fix**: `ReplaceAndInvertColorFactory` now safely returns `null` when
`replaceAndInvertOption` is `null` to avoid NPEs.
- **Testability refactor**: Broadened visibility of
`SPDFApplication#getActiveProfile(String[] args)` (from `private` to
`protected`) to enable direct unit testing.
- **Chore**: Removed obsolete `ValidationUtil` from `app/common`.
- **Why the change was made**
- Improve **signal in PRs** via automatic coverage summaries.
- Increase **test coverage** and reduce regressions across core and
proprietary modules.
- Eliminate a potential **NullPointerException** in color strategy
selection.
- Enable targeted testing of application startup/profile resolution
logic.

# Description of Changes
This pull request introduces support for FFmpeg as a new external tool
in the application. It adds configuration options for FFmpeg session
limits and timeouts, updates the process execution and tool-checking
utilities to handle FFmpeg, and expands endpoint configuration to
include FFmpeg-dependent features. Corresponding unit tests have also
been added to ensure FFmpeg detection works as expected.
**FFmpeg Integration and Configuration:**
* Added FFmpeg session limit and timeout configuration options to
`ApplicationProperties`, with default values and getter methods.

* Updated `ProcessExecutor` to recognize FFmpeg as a process type, and
to use the new session limit and timeout configuration for FFmpeg
processes.

* Added a specific exception factory method for missing FFmpeg in
`ExceptionUtils`.
**Endpoint Configuration:**
* Registered the new `pdf-to-video` endpoint under the "Convert",
"Java", and "FFmpeg" groups, and updated the tool group logic to include
"FFmpeg".

# Description of Changes
This pull request primarily refactors and improves the test code across
several modules, focusing on modernization, simplification, and
consistency of assertions and test setup. The changes include formatting
updates and improvements to utility methods. These updates help make the
tests easier to maintain and read, and ensure they use current best
practices.
**Test code modernization and assertion improvements:**
* Replaced legacy assertion methods such as `assertTrue(x instanceof Y)`
with more specific `assertInstanceOf` assertions in multiple test files,
improving clarity and type safety.
* Updated exception assertion checks to use `assertInstanceOf` for error
types instead of `assertTrue`, ensuring more precise test validation.
* Refactored test setup in `ResourceMonitorTest` to use `final` for
`AtomicReference` fields, clarifying intent and thread safety.
* Changed some test method signatures to remove unnecessary `throws
Exception` clauses, simplifying the test code.
**Test code simplification and cleanup:**
* Removed unused mock fields and simplified array initializations in
`AutoJobPostMappingIntegrationTest`, streamlining test setup and
reducing clutter.
* Updated YAML string initialization in
`ApplicationPropertiesDynamicYamlPropertySourceTest` to use Java text
blocks for improved readability.
* Improved null handling in assertions for collection validity checks.
* Updated byte array encoding to use `StandardCharsets.UTF_8` for
reliability and clarity.
**PDF document factory test refactoring:**
* Refactored `CustomPDFDocumentFactoryTest` to move helper methods for
inflating PDFs and writing temp files to the top of the class, and
restructured parameterized tests for better organization and
maintainability.

# Description of Changes
## What was changed
- Introduced `TempFileManager` and injected it into `CompressController`
to centralize and control temporary file lifecycle.
- Replaced ad-hoc `Files.createTempFile(...)` usages with a new
`TempFile` abstraction:
- `compressImagesInPDF(...)` now returns a `TempFile` instead of a
`Path`.
- All intermediate artifacts (original/working/GS/QPDF outputs) are
created via `TempFile` and managed with try-with-resources where
applicable.
- Removed the mutable `List<Path> tempFiles` bookkeeping; cleanup is
handled by `TempFile.close()` and a single `finally` block that closes
all tracked `TempFile` instances.
- Updated save/copy calls to use `TempFile` accessors (`getPath()`,
`getAbsolutePath()`, `getFile()`).
- Hardened error handling:
- Ensured `TempFile` is closed on early exceptions (e.g., in
`compressImagesInPDF`).
- Ghostscript/QPDF helpers now encapsulate their output lifecycle and no
longer accept/require a temp file list.
- Minor Java refinements:
- Used pattern matching for `instanceof` (e.g., `if (ref instanceof
NestedImageReference nestedRef)`).
- Improved and wrapped long log messages for readability and
consistency.
## Why the change was made
- **Resource safety:** Prevent orphaned temp files and reduce
file-descriptor leaks under failure conditions or multi-step pipelines.
- **Consistency:** Establish a single, testable mechanism for temp file
creation, placement, and cleanup across compression flows.
- **Portability & stability:** Avoid Windows file-locking/delete-in-use
issues by using explicit close semantics and predictable lifetimes.
- **Maintainability:** Simplify control flow by removing ad-hoc temp
tracking and pushing lifecycle ownership into `TempFile`.

# Description of Changes
**What was changed**
- Added enterprise configuration for database-related email
notifications:
-
`premium.enterpriseFeatures.databaseNotifications.backups.successful|failed`
-
`premium.enterpriseFeatures.databaseNotifications.imports.successful|failed`
- Extended `ApplicationProperties` and `settings.yml.template`
accordingly.
- Introduced `DatabaseNotificationServiceInterface` and
`DatabaseNotificationService` to centralize and gate notification
sending (EE-only, respects `mail.enabled`).
- Wired notifications into `DatabaseService`:
- Sends emails on successful/failed **backups** and **imports**.
- Added backup verification step:
- Compute SHA‑256 checksum for backup files.
- Validate backup by loading it into an in‑memory H2 instance
(`RUNSCRIPT`) before using it.
- Abort import if verification fails.
- Enhanced `EmailService`:
- Added `sendSimpleMail(String to, String subject, String body)` (async)
for lightweight notifications.
- Added debug logging for successful sends.
- Minor refactors and improved logging around backup/export/import
flows.
**Why the change was made**
- Provide admins with timely, configurable notifications about critical
database operations (backups/imports).
- Increase reliability by verifying backup integrity before execution,
reducing risk from corrupted or incomplete scripts.
- Keep configuration explicit and self-documenting via new keys in
`settings.yml.template`.

# Description of Changes
- **What was changed**
- Introduced a stricter network safety check in
`GeneralUtils.isURLReachable(...)`:
- Block resolution to local, private, link-local, multicast, and
reserved ranges for both IPv4 and IPv6 (including IPv4-mapped and
IPv4-compatible IPv6).
- Added a DNS records cap (`MAX_DNS_ADDRESSES = 20`) to mitigate DNS
answer explosions and reduce SSRF blast radius.
- Treat DNS resolution failures as unsafe (fail closed).
- Reject empty/invalid hosts early and disallow non-HTTP(S) protocols.
- Ensure `HttpURLConnection` is properly disconnected in a `finally`
block to avoid resource leaks.
- Added comprehensive unit tests in `GeneralUtilsAdditionalTest` to
verify blocking of sensitive ranges (e.g., `127.0.0.1`, `10.0.0.0/8`,
`172.16.0.0/12`, `192.168.0.0/16`, CGNAT `100.64.0.0/10`, link-local
`169.254.0.0/16`, TEST-NETs, multicast `224.0.0.0/4`, IPv6 ULA
`fc00::/7`, and IPv4-mapped `::ffff:127.0.0.1`).
- Renamed and refactored helper logic to
`isDisallowedNetworkLocation(...)` and split out
`isSensitiveAddress(...)`, `isPrivateOrReservedIPv4(...)`,
`isUniqueLocalIPv6(...)`, and `isIPv4MappedAddress(...)` for clarity and
testability.
- **Why the change was made**
- To prevent Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and related abuses in
features that fetch external URLs (e.g., website-to-PDF and similar
utilities).
- Ensures the application cannot be coerced into contacting internal
infrastructure or special-purpose address spaces.
- Adds explicit resource cleanup and safer defaults (fail closed) to
improve reliability and security.

# Description of Changes
This pull request introduces full support for generating true CBR (Comic
Book RAR) archives from PDF files using the local RAR CLI
### CBR Conversion Implementation:
- Refactored `PdfToCbrUtils.java` to generate image files for each PDF
page, invoke the RAR CLI to create a `.cbr` archive, and clean up
temporary files after conversion..
### Dependency & Endpoint Management:
- Added RAR as a required external dependency in
`ExternalAppDepConfig.java` and checks for its availability, disabling
related endpoints if missing.
- Registered new endpoints under the "RAR" group in
`EndpointConfiguration.java` and updated group validation logic.
### Controller and API Updates:
- Updated the API controller to clarify that the output is a true CBR
archive created with RAR, not ZIP-based.
- Modified the web controller to check for endpoint availability and
return a 404 error if the CBR conversion feature is disabled.

# Description of Changes
This pull request adds support for converting CBR (Comic Book RAR) files
to PDF, optimizes CBZ/CBR-to-PDF conversion for e-readers using
Ghostscript, and improves file type detection and image file handling.
It introduces the `CbrUtils` and `PdfToCbrUtils` utility classes,
refactors CBZ conversion logic, and integrates these features into the
API controller. The most important changes are grouped below.
### CBR Support and Conversion:
- Added the `com.github.junrar:junrar` dependency to support RAR/CBR
archive extraction in `build.gradle`. (https://github.com/junrar/junrar
and https://github.com/junrar/junrar?tab=License-1-ov-file#readme for
repo and license)
- Introduced the new utility class `CbrUtils` for converting CBR files
to PDF, including image extraction, sorting, and error handling.
- Added the `PdfToCbrUtils` utility class to convert PDF files into CBR
archives by rendering each page as an image and packaging them.
### CBZ/CBR Conversion Optimization:
- Refactored `CbzUtils.convertCbzToPdf` to support optional Ghostscript
optimization for e-reader compatibility and added a new method for this.
- Added `GeneralUtils.optimizePdfWithGhostscript`, which uses
Ghostscript to optimize PDFs for e-readers, and integrated error
handling.
### API Controller Integration:
- Updated `ConvertImgPDFController` to support CBR conversion, CBZ/CBR
optimization toggling, and Ghostscript availability checks.
### Endpoints

/>
### UI

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5f861943-0706-4fad-8775-c40a9c1f3170"
/>
### File Type and Image Detection Improvements:
- Improved file extension detection for comic book files and image files
in `CbzUtils` and added a shared regex pattern utility for image files.
### Additional notes:
- Please keep in mind new the dependency, this is not dependency-free
implementation (as opposed to CBZ converter)
- RAR 5 currently not supported. (because JUNRAR does not support it)
- Added the new ebook optimization func to GeneralUtils since we'll soon
(hopefully) at least 3 book/ebook formats (EPUB, CBZ, CBR) all of which
can use it.
- Once again this has been thoroughly tested but can't share actual
"real life" file due to copyright.
Closes: #775

# Description of Changes
Explanation on try-with-resource:
> Many resources in Java need be closed after they have been used. If
they are not, the garbage collector cannot reclaim the resources'
memory, and they are still considered to be in use by the operating
system. Such resources are considered to be leaked, which can lead to
performance issues.
>
> Java 7 introduced the try-with-resources statement, which guarantees
that the resource in question will be closed.
>
> try (InputStream input = Files.newInputStream(path)) {
> // "input" will be closed after the execution of this block
> }
>
> This syntax is safer than the traditional method using try, catch, and
finally and hence should be preferred.

# Description of Changes
- **What was changed**
- **URL to PDF flow**
- Changed `ConvertWebsiteToPDF#urlToPdf` to return `ResponseEntity<?>`
and perform a redirect (`303 SEE_OTHER`) back to `/url-to-pdf` with an
`error` query param instead of throwing exceptions.
- Added alert rendering in `url-to-pdf.html` using `param.error` for
localized error display.
- Introduced new translation key `error.invalidUrlFormat` in
`messages_en_GB.properties`.
- **Security / SSRF**
- Migrated `ApplicationProperties.System.UrlSecurity.level` from
`String` to `SsrfProtectionLevel` enum.
- Default now set to `SsrfProtectionLevel.MEDIUM` (`// MAX, MEDIUM,
OFF`).
- This avoids the issue where setting `OFF` returned `false` in
configuration parsing.
- Updated `SsrfProtectionService#parseProtectionLevel` accordingly
(using `level.name()`).
- **Repo hygiene**
- Added `**/LOCAL_APPDATA_FONTCONFIG_CACHE/**` to `.gitignore`.
- **Why the change was made**
- Provide user-friendly, localized error messages instead of exposing
internal exceptions on URL-to-PDF conversions.
- Ensure SSRF protection level parsing is type-safe and consistent—`OFF`
can now be set without yielding a misleading `false` state.
- Prevent unwanted fontconfig cache files from being tracked in Git.

# Description of Changes
- **What was changed**
- Centralized installation paths:
- Introduced `BACKUP_PATH`, `BACKUP_DB_PATH`, and
`BACKUP_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH` in `InstallationPathConfig`;
`getPrivateKeyPath()` now resolves to `backup/keys` and new
`getBackupPath()` returns `backup/db`.
- Removed old `PRIVATE_KEY_PATH` and switched all usages to the new
locations.
- Database service enhancements:
- `DatabaseService` now uses `InstallationPathConfig.getBackupPath()`
and includes a one-time migration to move existing backups from
`config/db/backup` to `config/backup/db` (**@Deprecated(since = "2.0.0",
forRemoval = true)**).
- Added `deleteAllBackups()` and `deleteLastBackup()` methods and
exposed them via a new Enterprise controller.
- New Enterprise-only API:
- Added `DatabaseControllerEnterprise` with:
- `DELETE /api/v1/database/deleteAll` — delete all backup files.
- `DELETE /api/v1/database/deleteLast` — delete the most recent backup.
- Endpoints gated by `@EnterpriseEndpoint` and
`@Conditional(H2SQLCondition.class)`.
- Key persistence adjustments:
- `KeyPersistenceService` now migrates keys from `config/db/keys` to
`config/backup/keys` on startup (**@Deprecated(since = "2.0.0",
forRemoval = true)**).
- Miscellaneous refactors/fixes:
- Switched driver resolution in `DatabaseConfig` to a switch expression.
- Corrected HTTP status usage to `HttpStatus.SEE_OTHER`.
- Removed constructor `runningEE` flag from `AccountWebController` and
replaced EE checks with `@EnterpriseEndpoint`.
- Minor test and annotation improvements (e.g., `@Deprecated(since =
"0.45.0")`, method references, equals order).
- **Why the change was made**
- To standardize and future-proof storage locations for both backups and
keys under a clear `config/backup` hierarchy.
- To give Enterprise admins first-class, safe cleanup endpoints for
managing backup retention without manual file operations.
- To reduce conditional logic in controllers and rely on declarative EE
gating.
- To improve maintainability and correctness (status codes, switch
expression, null-safety patterns).

# Description of Changes
- Refactored `isPrivateAddress` to improve detection of private and
local addresses for both IPv4 and IPv6.
- Added explicit handling for:
- IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses
- IPv6 link-local, site-local, and unique local (fc00::/7) addresses
- Additional IPv4 private ranges such as link-local (169.254.0.0/16)
- Introduced `normalizeIpv4MappedAddress` to standardize IP checks in
cloud metadata detection.
- Replaced `switch` statement with modern `switch` expression for
cleaner control flow.
These changes were made to strengthen SSRF protection by covering more
address edge cases, especially in mixed IPv4/IPv6 environments.
This also improves detection of cloud metadata endpoints when accessed
via IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.

# Description of Changes
This PR introduces several refactorings and minor enhancements across
the `common`, `core`, and `proprietary` modules:
- **Dependency Injection Cleanup**
- Removed unused constructor-injected dependencies (e.g.,
`FileOrUploadService`, `ApplicationProperties`, redundant `@Autowired`
annotations).
- Simplified constructors to only require actively used dependencies.
- **Model Enhancements**
- Added `@NoArgsConstructor` to `FileInfo`, `PdfMetadata`, and
`SignatureFile` to improve serialization/deserialization support.
- **Service Improvements**
- Improved `JobExecutorService` content type retrieval by assigning
`MediaType` to a variable before conversion.
- Enhanced `KeyPersistenceService` with type-safe
`.filter(JwtVerificationKey.class::isInstance)`.
- Annotated `decodePublicKey` in `KeyPersistenceService` with
`@Override` for clarity.
- **Controller & API Changes**
- Updated `AdminSettingsController` to use
`TypeReference<Map<String,Object>>` for safer conversion.
- Improved long log and description strings with consistent formatting.
- **Testing Updates**
- Replaced `.lenient()` mock settings with
`.defaultAnswer(RETURNS_DEFAULTS)` for `FileToPdf` static mocks.
- Used `ArgumentMatchers.<TypeReference<List<BookmarkItem>>>any()` in
`EditTableOfContentsControllerTest` for type safety.
- Updated `UserServiceTest` default `AuthenticationType` from `SSO` to
`OAUTH2`.
- **Formatting**
- Broke up long log/debug lines for better readability.
- Removed redundant `@SuppressWarnings` where type safety was ensured.
These changes aim to make the codebase leaner, more type-safe, and
maintainable, while improving test reliability.

This PR introduces JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication for Stirling-PDF,
allowing for stateless authentication capabilities alongside the
existing session-based authentication system.
### Key Features & Changes
JWT Authentication System
- Core Service: JwtService.java - Token generation, validation, and
cookie management
- Authentication Filter: JwtAuthenticationFilter.java - Request
interceptor for JWT validation
- Key Management: KeyPersistenceService.java +
KeyPairCleanupService.java - RSA key rotation and persistence
- Frontend: jwt-init.js - Client-side JWT handling and URL cleanup
Security Integration
- SAML2: JwtSaml2AuthenticationRequestRepository.java - JWT-backed SAML
request storage
- OAuth2: Updated CustomAuthenticationSuccessHandler. java,
CustomOAuth2AuthenticationSuccessHandler.java &
CustomSaml2AuthenticationSuccessHandler.java for JWT integration
- Configuration: Enhanced SecurityConfiguration.java with JWT filter
chain
Infrastructure
- Caching: CacheConfig.java - Caffeine cache for JWT keys
- Database: New JwtVerificationKey.java entity for key storage
- Error Handling: JwtAuthenticationEntryPoint.java for unauthorized
access
### Challenges Encountered
- Configured SecurityConfiguration to use either
`UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter` or `JWTAuthenticationFilter`
based on whether JWTs are enabled to prevent the former intercepting
requests while in stateless mode.
- Removed the `.defaultSuccessUrl("/")` from login configuration as its
inclusion was preventing overriding the use of the
`CustomAuthenticationSuccessHandler` and preventing proper
authentication flows.

## Description of Changes
**What was changed**
- In `getIdpMetadataUri()`, use
`idpMetadataUri.substring("classpath:".length())` so the `classpath:`
scheme (including the colon) is stripped correctly before creating the
`ClassPathResource`.
- In `getPrivateKey()`, add a null check (`if (privateKey == null)
return null;`) to avoid a potential `NullPointerException` when the
property is unset.
**Why the change was made**
- The previous substring used `"classpath".length()` (without the
colon), leaving a leading `:` in the path (e.g., `:/saml/idp.xml`) which
breaks `ClassPathResource` resolution and can prevent SAML bootstrapping
when `idpMetadataUri` uses the `classpath:` scheme.
- The null-guard aligns the method with defensive coding practices and
prevents runtime errors when no private key is configured.

# Description of Changes
refactor(eml-to-pdf): Enhance compliance with PDF/ISO standards and MIME
specifications
This commit refactors the EML-to-PDF conversion utility to improve
standards compliance, implementing requirements from multiple RFCs and
ISO specifications:
### Standards Compliance Implemented:
• **PDF Standards (ISO 32000-1:2008)**: Added PDF version validation in
`attachFilesToPdf()`
to ensure 1.7+ compatibility for Unicode file embeddings
• **MIME Processing (RFC 2045/2046)**: Implemented case-insensitive MIME
type handling
in `processPartAdvanced()` with `toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT)` normalization
• **Content Encoding (RFC 2047)**: Enhanced `safeMimeDecode()` with
UTF-8→ISO-8859-1
charset fallback chains for robust header decoding
• **Content-ID Processing (RFC 2392)**: Added proper Content-ID
stripping with
`replaceAll("[<>]", "")` for embedded image references
• **Multipart Safety (RFC 2046)** (best practice, not compliance
related): Implemented recursion depth limiting (max 10 levels)
• **processMultipartAdvanced()**, setCatalogViewerPreferences used to
set PageMode.USE_ATTACHMENTS, but PDF spec 12.2 (Viewer Preferences)
requires a /ViewerPreferences dictionary for full control (e.g.,
/DisplayDocTitle). Docs suggested setting additional prefs like
/NonFullScreenPageMode to ensure attachments panel opens reliably across
viewers
• **addAttachmentAnnotationToPage**, annotations are set to
/Invisible=true but must remain interactive. PDF spec 12.5.6.15 (File
Attachment Annotations) requires /F flags to control print/view (e.g.,
NoPrint if not printable).
### Technical Improvements:
• **Coordinate System Handling**: Added rotation-aware coordinate
transformations
in PDF annotation placement following ISO 32000-1 Section 8.3
• **Charset Fallbacks**: Implemented progressive charset detection with
UTF-8
primary and ISO-8859-1 fallback in MIME decoding
• **Error Resilience**: Enhanced exception handling with specific error
types and
proper resource cleanup using try-with-resources patterns
• **HTML5 Compliance**: Updated email HTML generation with proper
DOCTYPE and
charset declarations for browser compatibility
### Security & Robustness:
• **Input Validation**: Added comprehensive null checks and boundary
validation
throughout attachment and multipart processing
• **XSS Prevention**: All user content now processed through
`escapeHtml()` or
`CustomHtmlSanitizer` before HTML generation
### Code Quality:
• **Method Signatures**: Updated `processMultipartAdvanced()` to include
depth
parameter for recursion tracking
• **Switch Expressions**: Modernized switch statements to use Java 17+
arrow syntax
where applicable
• **Documentation**: Added inline RFC/ISO references for
compliance-critical sections
All changes maintain backward compatibility while significantly
improving standards
adherence. Tested with various EML formats.
No major change. No change in tests. No change in aesthetic of the
resulting PDF. No change change in "user space" (except when user relied
on compliance of aforementioned stuff then a major improvement)

# Description of Changes
- **What was changed:**
- Updated `.github/labeler-config-srvaroa.yml` to include
`app/core/src/main/resources/static/pipeline/defaultWebUIConfigs/**`
under the labeler paths.
- Removed `COPY pipeline /pipeline` from all three Dockerfiles to slim
down images.
- Added a new `PIPELINE_PATH` constant and `getPipelinePath()` method in
`InstallationPathConfig.java`.
- Implemented `GeneralUtils.extractPipeline()` to copy default pipeline
JSON configs (`OCR images.json`, `Prepare-pdfs-for-email.json`,
`split-rotate-auto-rename.json`) from classpath into the installation
directory.
- Invoked `GeneralUtils.extractPipeline()` during initial setup in
`InitialSetup.java`.
- Updated `.gitignore` to treat `./pipeline/` as ignored.
- **Why the change was made:**
Ensures that default WebUI pipeline configurations are automatically
extracted at runtime rather than baked into the image, improving
flexibility and reducing image size.
