HIGH 7.5REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2026-105751 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting docling. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Docling simplifies document processing by parsing diverse formats and providing integrations with the generative AI ecosystem. From 2.107.0 until 2.120.3, docling/backend/opendocument_backend.py uses the xlink:href attribute value of a draw:image element as a filesystem path when the referenced part is not found in the document archive. The _image_ref_from_odf_image function reads that attacker-controlled path without a scheme check, extraction-d

docling docling UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2.107.0 and < 2.120.3

Fixed in: 2.120.3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.107.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy docling || rpm -q docling || docling --version

2. UPGRADE to 2.120.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade docling

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade docling

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 2.107.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison docling sudo apt install docling=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.107.0> sudo apt-mark hold docling

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list docling sudo dnf downgrade docling-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.107.0> sudo dnf versionlock add docling

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
