It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-44018 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- docling (PyPI): affected from 2.45.0; fixed in 2.91.0\n- docling (PyPI): affected from 2.45.0; fixed in 2.91.0\n- docling (PyPI): affected from 2.45.0; fixed in 2.91.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44018/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44018/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-44018","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44018/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-44018","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r3xg-rg9j-67fv","PYSEC-2026-2144"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python document processing library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit unsafe XML parsing and archive extraction in Docling to read sensitive files or cause denial of service.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"docling","vendor":"docling"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-776","name":"Improper Restriction of Recursive Entity References in DTDs"},{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"},{"id":"CWE-409","name":"Improper Handling of Highly Compressed Data (Data Amplification)"}],"description":"Docling simplifies document processing by parsing diverse formats and providing integrations with the generative AI ecosystem.
