paperless-ngx | v2.20.13

paperless-ngx v2.20.13 released on 21-03-2026


paperless-ngx v2.20.13 is out now. It stops the UI offering “suggest corrections” when no search results are visible, enforces view permissions on more-like-this searches, validates document link targets, and requires proper permissions when attaching accounts to mail rules.

See the project’s GitHub release page for full details and links to the changelog.

What’s in this release

  • Suggest corrections only if there are visible search results, avoiding irrelevant prompts.
  • More-like-this search now requires document view permission for candidate results, closing an information-leak vector.
  • Document-to-document link creation validates targets to prevent invalid or broken links and respects access rules.
  • Attaching accounts to mail rules now requires appropriate permissions to prevent unauthorised associations.

Upgrade notes

  • No breaking changes are listed in the release notes; follow your normal upgrade procedure and consult the GitHub release for details.
  • If you need to revert, roll back to the previous package version or container image tag using your usual tools.
