CVE-2026-44017

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Docling simplifies document processing by parsing diverse formats and providing integrations with the generative AI ecosystem. Prior to 2.91.0, the EasyOCR model download functionality extracted ZIP archives without validating member paths, enabling Zip Slip attacks. If an attacker could compromise the model download source (via supply chain attack, DNS spoofing, or MITM), they could write arbitrary files to any location writable by the process, potentially achieving remote code execution by overwriting Python files or system binaries, persistent backdoors by modifying startup scripts or SSH keys, and data corruption or system compromise. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.91.0.

Antes de la versión 2.91.0, la funcionalidad de descarga de modelos de EasyOCR extraía archivos ZIP sin validar las rutas de los miembros, lo que permitía ataques Zip Slip. Si un atacante pudiera comprometer la fuente de descarga del modelo (mediante un ataque a la cadena de suministro, suplantación de DNS o MitM), podría escribir archivos arbitrarios en cualquier ubicación a la que el proceso tuviera permisos de escritura, logrando potencialmente la ejecución remota de código al sobrescribir archivos Python o binarios del sistema, puertas traseras persistentes al modificar scripts de inicio o claves SSH, y corrupción de datos o compromiso del sistema. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la versión 2.91.0."
