SCA: security update for docling (GHSA-4xhp-xg4w-8ppm)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 472972

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. From 2.107.0 until 2.120.3, docling/backend/opendocument_backend.py uses the
 xlink:href attribute value of a draw:image element as a filesystem path when the referenced part is not
 found in the document archive. The _image_ref_from_odf_image function reads that attacker-controlled path
 without a scheme check, extraction-directory confinement, or the enable_local_fetch setting used by other
 backends. Readable files that Pillow can decode as images are embedded in converted output, and other
 existing paths can be distinguished through the attempted read. This issue is fixed in 2.120.3.
 (CVE-2026-105751)

Solution

Update the docling library and its related packages to version 2.120.3 or later.
