CVE-2026-47214
Description
A flaw was found in Docling, a document processing tool. Its HTML backend contained vulnerabilities related to unsafe handling of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) and file paths. This could allow an attacker to access local files, navigate outside of intended directories (path traversal), and potentially access internal network resources (Server-Side Request Forgery or SSRF). The primary impact of this flaw is information disclosure, potentially exposing sensitive data.
Statement
This is an Important vulnerability in the Docling HTML backend, which is used for document processing within Red Hat OpenShift AI. Unsafe URI and path handling could allow an attacker to craft malicious HTML content, leading to information disclosure or other impacts when processed by Docling. This risk is elevated in environments where Docling handles untrusted or user-provided documents.
Mitigation
To mitigate this issue, ensure that `enable_local_fetch` and `enable_remote_fetch` are set to `False` when Docling is used to process untrusted HTML documents. These are the default settings for Docling, so no action is required unless these configurations have been explicitly changed.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Integrity,Confidentiality,Availability
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
The attacker may be able to create or overwrite critical files that are used to execute code, such as programs or libraries.
Integrity
Technical Impact: Modify Files or Directories
The attacker may be able to overwrite or create critical files, such as programs, libraries, or important data. If the targeted file is used for a security mechanism, then the attacker may be able to bypass that mechanism. For example, appending a new account at the end of a password file may allow an attacker to bypass authentication.
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Files or Directories
The attacker may be able read the contents of unexpected files and expose sensitive data. If the targeted file is used for a security mechanism, then the attacker may be able to bypass that mechanism. For example, by reading a password file, the attacker could conduct brute force password guessing attacks in order to break into an account on the system.
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
The attacker may be able to overwrite, delete, or corrupt unexpected critical files such as programs, libraries, or important data. This may prevent the product from working at all and in the case of protection mechanisms such as authentication, it has the potential to lock out product users.
