Title

Docling: Plugin entry points are imported before the allow_external_plugins check

Summary

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.

Severity

GHSA-9JXX-VJRV-H2RQ

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-07 20:40 – Updated: 2026-10-07 20:40

Summary

Docling imports plugin entry points before the allow_external_plugins check

Details

Summary

allow_external_plugins=False (the default, and the CLI default) is meant to restrict docling to its own model plugins. However, docling's plugin factories call pluggy's load_setuptools_entrypoints(), which imports every module registered under docling's plugin entry-point group. Only afterwards does docling filter out modules outside the docling. namespace. Import-time code in any installed third-party plugin therefore runs even though external plugins are disabled.

Details

In docling/models/factories/base_factory.py, load_from_plugins() loads all entry points first and applies the allow_external_plugins check only to the already-imported modules. The CLI creates these factories when it starts, so running docling imports every registered plugin module. A log message says the plugin "will not be loaded", although its module has already been imported.

Affected configurations

Environments in which a package registering a docling plugin entry point is installed, for example an unvetted or compromised dependency, and which rely on allow_external_plugins=False to keep that code from running.

Impact

Execution of a third-party plugin module's import-time code in the docling process, contrary to the documented behaviour of allow_external_plugins=False.

Patches

Fixed in docling 2.131.0 by #4413. Plugin entry points are now filtered by module name before they are loaded, so with allow_external_plugins=False third-party plugin modules are no longer imported.

Workarounds

Upgrade to 2.131.0. For older versions:

Only install trusted packages in environments that run docling. Check which packages register docling plugin entry points with importlib.metadata.entry_points().

Severity

6.7 (Medium)

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.

Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2026-10-15 10:22 - Updated: 2026-10-15 14:37

Details

Summary

Details

Affected configurations

Impact

Execution of a third-party plugin module's import-time code in the docling process, contrary to the documented behaviour of allow_external_plugins=False.

Patches

Workarounds

Upgrade to 2.131.0. For older versions:

Only install trusted packages in environments that run docling. Check which packages register docling plugin entry points with importlib.metadata.entry_points().

Severity

6.7 (Medium)
