LlamaIndex Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability
Fix: upgrade to 0.12.9 or later
A vulnerability in the KnowledgeBaseWebReader class of the run-llama/llama_index repository, version latest, allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by controlling a URL variable to contain the root URL. This leads to infinite recursive calls to the get_article_urls method, exhausting system resources and potentially crashing the application.
