SCA: security update for docling, docling-slim (GHSA-cgc7-9qp3-86m3)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473759

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 2.0.0 until 2.131.0, the HTML, JATS, OpenDocument spreadsheet, and BoxNote
 backends, including docling/backend/html_backend.py, docling/backend/jats_backend.py, and
 docling/backend/boxnote_backend.py, accept the rowspan and colspan attribute values without an upper bound
 and execute loops or allocate a table grid proportional to the declared span. A very small document can
 therefore cause sustained CPU use or multi-gigabyte memory allocation, and the document_timeout setting
 does not interrupt the single backend conversion call. Export through the TableData.grid property can
 further materialize the oversized grid. This issue is fixed in 2.131.0. (CVE-2026-105749)

Solution

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