CVE-2024-12910

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.
