Description
With the following crawler configuration:<br />
<br />
```python<br />
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as Soup<br />
<br />
url = "https://example.com"<br />
loader = RecursiveUrlLoader(<br />
url=url, max_depth=2, extractor=lambda x: Soup(x, "html.parser").text<br />
)<br />
docs = loader.load()<br />
```<br />
<br />
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`.<br />
