CVE-2026-44023: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in docling-project docling-core
Docling-core versions from 1.5.0 up to but not including 2.74.1 contain a path traversal vulnerability that allows unsafe resolution of server-provided Content-Disposition headers to local file paths. This can enable SSRF attacks targeting local files outside the intended cache directory. The issue has been fixed in version 2.74.1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Docling-core, a core component of the Docling document processing application, in versions >=1.5.0 and <2.74.1, insufficiently restricts remote request destinations. Specifically, it can resolve a server-provided Content-Disposition header to a local path in an unsafe manner, leading to a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) and potential SSRF attacks targeting local files outside the user-defined cache directory. This vulnerability is addressed in version 2.74.1.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to cause the application to access local files outside the intended cache directory via SSRF, potentially leading to unauthorized information disclosure (confidentiality impact: high), limited integrity impact, and limited availability impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade docling-core to version 2.74.1 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is indicated.
