contents The Cosmic Distance Duality Relation (CDDR) is a fundamental principle of standard cosmology, linking luminosity (LD) and angular diameter distances (ADD). This work investigates the validity of the CDDR and cosmic transparency by combining the latest Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) data from DESI DR2, Type Ia Supernovae from Pantheon+, and cosmic chronometers. To address the redshift mismatch between datasets, two distinct reconstruction techniques are employed: Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) and the Free-Knots Method (FKM). The analysis performs null tests on the CDDR under different cosmological priors, finding that the null hypothesis holds and the CDDR is valid within statistical uncertainties. Although mild deviations are observed from the local distance ladder prior, internal consistency calibration indicates that these discrepancies and the Hubble tension may share a common origin, possibly related to systematic effects or new physics. Using multiple phenomenological parameterizations, the deviation parameter is also found to be statistically consistent with zero (e.g., $η_1 = 0.023 \pm 0.027$ for the linear model under Planck priors). Furthermore, the study finds no statistically significant evidence for cosmic opacity. The average of the opacity derivative is compatible with zero ($\langle dτ/dz \rangle = 0.0409 \pm 0.1024$ for GPR and $0.0730 \pm 0.1607$ for FKM). Based on these null results, stringent constraints are placed on the parameter space of Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) and Mini-Charged Particles (MCPs).
