## Affected packages

- `docling` (PyPI): affected `>=2.27.0, <2.131.0`; fixed in `2.131.0`
- `docling-slim` (PyPI): affected `>=2.92.0, <2.131.0`; fixed in `2.131.0`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Docling versions from 2.27.0 before 2.131.0, and docling-slim versions from 2.92.0 before 2.131.0, import the import-time code of installed third-party plugin modules even when allow_external_plugins is False, which is meant to block them. An attacker who can get a malicious or compromised package with a docling plugin entry point installed into the environment can run code in the docling process. Upgrade docling and docling-slim to 2.131.0. For older versions, install only trusted packages in environments that run docling.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-9jxx-vjrv-h2rq>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
