Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Docling versions 2.107.0 up to 2.120.3 (excluding 2.120.3) are affected. When converting an OpenDocument (.odt) file, the backend treats the image reference in the document as a local filesystem path, without the checks the other backends apply. An attacker who can supply a crafted .odt file can have Docling read an arbitrary local file, and if that file is an image, its contents are embedded in the conversion output. Upgrade to docling 2.120.3, which fixes the issue.
