# One file, pdfminer/_saslprep.py, is forked from from ASL 2.0 code by MongoDB,
# Inc.—originally pymongo/saslprep.py in mongo-python-driver
# (python-pymongo)—with additional modifications in pyHanko (not yet packaged),
# where it is pyhanko/pdf_utils/_saslprep.py.

Only the above pure-Python SASL code in pdfminer is taken from pymongo. It does not contain the bson module that was subject to CVE-2024-21506, nor does it contain any compiled extension code derived from pymongo. Therefore, this CVE does not apply to python-pdfminer.
