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.
The product does not properly control the amount of recursion that takes place, consuming excessive resources, such as allocated memory or the program stack.
