CVE-2026-105745: Docling: Plugin entry points are imported before the allow_external_plugins check

• Severity: high (CVSS 7.8 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.1% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-10-05 · updated 2026-10-07
• Weakness: CWE-696

Description

Docling simplifies document processing by parsing diverse formats and providing integrations with the generative AI ecosystem. From 2.27.0 until 2.131.0, Docling plugin factories in docling/models/factories/base_factory.py call load_setuptools_entrypoints() before applying the allow_external_plugins setting, so every module registered in the Docling entry-point group is imported even when external plugins are disabled. An installed third-party or compromised package can therefore execute import-time code when Docling starts, while the subsequent namespace filter misleadingly reports that the plugin was not loaded. This issue is fixed in 2.131.0.

Affected products

• docling-project docling: from 2.27.0 before 2.131.0 — fixed in 2.131.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: docling-project docling 2.131.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
