CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedDocling versions 2.27.0 to 2.131.0 are vulnerable due to improper handling of external plugins, allowing third-party or compromised packages to execute code at import time despite external plugins being disabled. This could lead to unauthorized code execution during the startup process of Docling, posing a risk to system integrity. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to version 2.131.0 to mitigate potential exploitation.

Original NVD Description
Docling simplifies document processing by parsing diverse formats and providing integrations with the generative AI ecosystem. From 2.27.0 until 2.131.0, Docling plugin factories in docling/models/factories/base_factory.py call load_setuptools_entrypoints() before applying the allow_external_plugins setting, so every module registered in the Docling entry-point group is imported even when external plugins are disabled. An installed third-party or compromised package can therefore execute import-time code when Docling starts, while the subsequent namespace filter misleadingly reports that the plugin was not loaded. This issue is fixed in 2.131.0.
