Overview

docling-slim is a Modular version of the Docling package: SDK and CLI for parsing PDF, DOCX, HTML, and more, to a unified document representation for powering downstream workflows such as gen AI applications.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data via the HTML backend's remote fetch logic in html_backend.py when remote fetching is enabled. An attacker who controls a document URL can supply a URL that resolves to an internal or loopback address (including IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses), cause the backend to follow redirects to arbitrary hosts without re-validating each hop, and leak responses to the attacker. Additionally, configured HTMLBackendOptions.headers (which may contain credentials or tokens) are forwarded to any origin reached during redirects rather than being scoped to the source document's origin.

Note: This is only exploitable when remote fetching is enabled and HTMLBackendOptions.headers are configured; the default configuration is not affected.
