SCA: security update for docling, docling-slim (GHSA-p944-4xh2-x776)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473778

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 2.16.0 until 2.131.0, the InputFormat.JSON_DOCLING backend in
docling/backend/json/docling_json_backend.py validates serialized DoclingDocument input without rejecting
picture image references that contain local paths or file URIs. When the document is enriched or exported
with ImageRefMode.EMBEDDED, the DoclingDocument._with_embedded_pictures and ImageRef.pil_image methods can
open those references and place readable image bytes in Markdown or HTML output. Disclosure is limited to
files Pillow can decode as images, while differing decode behavior can also reveal whether a path exists.
Direct untrusted loading through docling-core is outside this Docling fix. This issue is fixed in 2.131.0.
(CVE-2026-105748)

Solution

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