Doc Text:
A flaw was found in docling-serve. An unauthenticated remote attacker can access sensitive process memory metrics and trigger internal garbage collection routines by querying memory monitoring endpoints that fail to enforce authentication controls. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to bypass configured Application Programming Interface (API) key restrictions and obtain internal system telemetry.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-11 12:42:48 UTC
docling-serve 1.14.0 through 1.36.0 contains a missing authentication vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access /v1/memory/stats and /v1/memory/counts because they omit the require_auth dependency. Attackers can bypass the configured DOCLING_SERVE_API_KEY to read process and cgroup memory telemetry, object type histograms, and force repeated gc.collect() heap enumeration.
