suggestions that could accidentally strip existing metadata. Version 3.1.2 (1 September) closed a security hole tracked as GHSA-2jhj-xqrq-rmrq and is recommended for all users. The latest point release, 3.1.3, mostly smoothed out the interface, including loading indicators and sidebar animations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Self-hosters should update to at least 3.1.2 to pick up the security fix. The AI features remain optional and can run without any external provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/paperless-ngx\/paperless-ngx\/releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GitHub &ndash;
