+# Fix S110 Security Issue in Extractor
+
+Replace `try-except-pass` block in `src/helia/analysis/extractor.py` with specific exception handling and logging.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The Security Sentinel identified a distinct security risk (S110) in `src/helia/analysis/extractor.py`. A `try-except-pass` block silently suppresses errors, making debugging impossible and potentially hiding security-critical failures or data corruption issues.
+
+## Findings
+
+- **File:** `src/helia/analysis/extractor.py`
+- **Issue:** S110 - `try-except-pass` detected.
+- **Impact:** Critical for visibility and system stability. Silent failures can lead to unpredictable application states.
+
+## Proposed Solutions
+
+### Option 1: Log and Re-raise
+
+**Approach:** Catch the specific exception, log the error with a traceback, and optionally re-raise it if the application cannot recover.
+
+**Pros:**
+- Full visibility into errors.
+- Prevents silent failures.
+
+**Cons:**
+- May require error handling changes upstream if exceptions are raised.
+
+### Option 2: Log and Continue (Safe Fallback)
+
+**Approach:** Catch specific exception, log it as an error/warning, and set a safe default value or continue processing if appropriate.
+
+**Pros:**
+- Prevents application crash while maintaining visibility.
+
+**Cons:**
+- Might mask severity if logs aren't monitored.
+
+## Recommended Action
+
+**To be filled during triage.**
+
+## Technical Details
+
+**Affected files:**
+- `src/helia/analysis/extractor.py`
+
+## Resources
+
+- **Source:** Security Sentinel Report
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] `try-except-pass` block removed.
+- [ ] Specific exception type caught (not bare `except:`).
+- [ ] Error logged using `logging` module (not `print`).
+- [ ] Unit tests added to verify exception handling behavior.
