high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442616

Description

 - Docling simplifies document processing by parsing diverse formats and providing integrations with the
 generative AI ecosystem. From 2.45.0 until 2.91.0, the METS-GBS backend's XML parsing and the input
 document format detection lacked security controls. An attacker could craft malicious METS-GBS archives
 that, when processed, could read sensitive files, exhaust system resources, or cause application crashes.
