CVE-2026-44022: Docling: Potential Path Traversal via LaTeX \includegraphics and \input Commands
(updated )
The LaTeX backend’s handling of \includegraphics, \input, and \include commands lacked path containment validation. Attackers could craft malicious LaTeX documents with path traversal sequences (e.g., ../../../etc/passwd) to:
- Read arbitrary files from the file system accessible to the process
- Include sensitive files in the converted document output
- Potentially access configuration files, credentials, or other sensitive data
