CVE-2026-112310: docling-core local file disclosure in image references

CVE-2026-112310 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-10-19

docling-core is a Python library that processes and converts documents. A vulnerability allows attackers to read arbitrary local image files by crafting malicious document inputs that bypass security checks, exposing file contents encoded in document exports and revealing file system paths.

Vendors: Docling Project.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the ImageRef URI handling, where plain filesystem paths can be supplied to bypass the allow_image_file_uri gate. When documents containing these crafted image references are exported with ImageRefMode.EMBEDDED or rendered to HTML, local image files are read and embedded as base64-encoded data, allowing information disclosure. An attacker needs to submit crafted DoclingDocument JSON or YAML inputs to the application processing documents with this library.
