PyPI: langchain-community
CVE-2024-2965
Safety vulnerability ID: SFTY-20240606-35211
Safety legacy ID: pyup.io-71614
Affected versions of Langchain-community are vulnerable to Denial of service in SitemapLoader Document Loader. The parse_sitemap method, responsible for parsing sitemaps and extracting URLs, lacks a mechanism to prevent infinite recursion when a sitemap URL refers to the current sitemap itself. This oversight allows for the possibility of an infinite loop, leading to a crash by exceeding the maximum recursion depth in Python. This vulnerability can be exploited to occupy server socket/port resources and crash the Python process, impacting the availability of services relying on this functionality.
