Arbitrary File Access

Docling is vulnerable to arbitrary file read and write. The vulnerability is due to the Tectonic engine compiling untrusted TikZ input without restricting file access, which allows an attacker to read accessible files and create or overwrite writable files, with potential command execution if she...

GHSA-X3Q2-H9HX-4R4J Docling has arbitrary file read/write (and command execution when shell-escape is enabled) when rendering untrusted TikZ with the opt-in Tectonic engine

Summary When the LaTeX backend is configured to render TikZ pictures with the Tectonic engine LatexBackendOptionstikzengine="tectonic", the TikZ body and the document preamble from the input file are compiled by Tectonic without any restriction on TeX's file primitives. A crafted .tex file can re...

CVE-2026-105744

A flaw was found in docling. When configured to process LaTeX documents using the Tectonic engine, the application does not restrict TeX file operations during compilation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting crafted document input to read sensitive files or overwrite...

CVE-2026-105744 Docling: Arbitrary file read/write (and command execution when shell-escape is enabled) when rendering untrusted TikZ with the opt-in Tectonic engine

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 LatexBackendOptionstikzengine="tectonic" invoke docling/backend/latex/engines/tectonic.py to compile an untrusted TikZ bo...
