CVE-2026-44017
Docling Docling
Docling simplifies document processing by parsing diverse formats and providing integrations with the generative AI ecosystem. Prior to 2.91.0, the EasyOCR model download functionality extracted ZIP archives without validating member paths, enabling Zip Slip attacks. If an attacker could compromise the model download source (via supply chain attack, DNS spoofing, or MITM), they could write arbitrary files to any location writable by the process, potentially achieving remote code execution by overwriting Python files or system binaries, persistent backdoors by modifying startup scripts or SSH keys, and data corruption or system compromise. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.91.0.
Exploitation status
- A vendor advisory or patch reference has been published.
What the metrics mean
- It is reachable over a network, without needing local access.
- For an attacker who can reach it, exploitation depends on conditions outside the attacker's control.
- To exploit it, no account is needed.
- Beyond that, someone has to be persuaded to take an action first.
