{"id":"CVE-2026-105744","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-105744","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T03:26:07.000Z","title":"Crafted input can read files available to the converter and create or overwrite writable files, and enabling the tikz_engine_allow_shell_escape option additionally permits shell commands through TeX.","description":"Docling simplifies document processing by parsing diverse formats and providing integrations with the generative AI ecosystem. From 2.94.0 until 2.132.0, callers that opt into LatexBackendOptions(tikz_engine=\"tectonic\") invoke docling/backend/latex/engines/tectonic.py to compile an untrusted TikZ body and document preamble without restricting TeX file primitives including \\openin and \\openout. Crafted input can read files available to the converter and create or overwrite writable files, and enabling the tikz_engine_allow_shell_escape option additionally permits shell commands through TeX. The default configuration, which does not enable Tectonic rendering, is not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.132.0.","published":"2026-10-05T22:16:57.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-07T19:33:17.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"security-advisories@github.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-22","CWE-73","CWE-1188"],"affected":["docling/docling"],"epss":{"score":0.00368,"percentile":0.30393,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-06","score":0.00304,"percentile":0.21202}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.37%).
