SCA: security update for docling, docling-slim (GHSA-q43m-vhcp-mhvm)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 472979

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 2.82.0 until 2.118.1, HTMLBackendOptions(render_page=True) permits file URLs
because HTMLDocumentBackend._get_browser_request_block_reason does not enforce the enable_local_fetch
setting or confine local requests to the source document directory. Crafted path-backed HTML can embed a
readable local text file in a browser-rendered page image when Playwright is installed. Only filesystem
Path inputs are affected because stream inputs use an opaque origin, and the default configuration,
command-line interface, docling-serve, and non-rendering backends are not affected. This issue is fixed in
2.118.1. (CVE-2026-105750)

Solution

Update the docling library and its related packages to version 2.118.1 or later.
