CVE-2026-105742: Docling: Configured HTTP headers sent to every remote image host named by a document

CVE-2026-105742 · Severity: low · CVSS 3.7 · Published 2026-10-05

Docling simplifies document processing by parsing diverse formats and providing integrations with the generative AI ecosystem. From 2.95.0 until 2.132.0, the HTML image resource loader in docling/backend/utils/image_resource_loader.py forwards headers configured through the HTMLBackendOptions.headers setting to every remote image URL named by an untrusted document when enable_remote_fetch=True and fetch_images=True. The loader does not restrict those credentials to the source document's origin, allowing requests that carry custom headers such as API keys and cookies to follow cross-origin redirects and expose the caller's configured credentials to a document author. The default configuration is not affected because remote fetching and configured headers are required. This issue is fixed in 2.132.0.

Technologies: docling (PyPI), docling-slim (PyPI). Vendors: PyPI.
