SCA: security update for docling, docling-slim (GHSA-3cr3-8m4c-fpxw)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473450

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 2.45.0 until 2.131.0, METS-GBS format detection in
 docling/datamodel/document.py and the backend in docling/backend/mets_gbs_backend.py call
 tarfile.TarFile.getmembers() before enforcing the max_member_count limit, causing the full archive member
 list to be allocated before the limit can stop processing. A small gzip-compressed tar archive with a very
 large number of empty members can therefore consume memory proportional to the declared member count,
 including during format detection before the allowed_formats restriction is applied. This issue is a
 residual weakness in the member-count protection added for CVE-2026-44018. This issue is fixed in 2.131.0.
 (CVE-2026-105747)

Solution

Update the docling library and its related packages to version 2.131.0 or later.
