SCA: security update for docling (GHSA-cjqg-rq2h-2fvj)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442618

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Docling simplifies document processing by parsing diverse formats and providing integrations with the
 generative AI ecosystem. Prior to 2.91.0, the EasyOCR model download functionality extracted ZIP archives
 without validating member paths, enabling Zip Slip attacks. If an attacker could compromise the model
 download source (via supply chain attack, DNS spoofing, or MITM), they could write arbitrary files to any
 location writable by the process, potentially achieving remote code execution by overwriting Python files
 or system binaries, persistent backdoors by modifying startup scripts or SSH keys, and data corruption or
 system compromise. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.91.0. (CVE-2026-44017)

Solution

Update the docling library and its related packages to version 2.91.0 or later.
