 - A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability was discovered in the Hugging Face
 Transformers library, specifically within the DonutProcessor class's `token2json()` method. This
 vulnerability affects versions 4.50.3 and earlier, and is fixed in version 4.52.1. The issue arises from

 the Donut model. (CVE-2025-3933)
