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`.
