Summary
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. A flaw was found in Docling.
This is an Important vulnerability in Docling, affecting Red Hat OpenShift AI, where the EasyOCR model download functionality is susceptible to Zip Slip attacks. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 8.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Weakness: CWE-22. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.4.
