LangChain

CVE-2024-0243 · Published Feb 26, 2024 · updated Jul 7, 2026

Low3.7
Fix: upgrade to 0.1.0 or later
GitHub advisory

With the following crawler configuration:

```python

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as Soup

url = "https://example.com"

loader = RecursiveUrlLoader(

url=url, max_depth=2, extractor=lambda x: Soup(x, "html.parser").text

)

docs = loader.load()

`

An attacker in control of the contents of https://example.com could place a malicious HTML file in there with links like "https://example.completely.different/my_file.html" and the crawler would proceed to download that file as well even though prevent_outside=True.
