Unfortunately, we didn't do a good job writing the initial report. It's pointing at both the wrong package and the wrong code.
The affected code is the Web Retriever not the AsyncHTMLLoader, and the WebRetriever lives in langchain-community
The vulnerable code lives here:
langchain/libs/community/langchain_community/retrievers/web_research.py
Line 233 in 0bd3f4e
This PR adds a forced opt-in for users to make sure they are aware of the risk and can mitigate by configuring a proxy:
langchain/libs/community/langchain_community/retrievers/web_research.py
Line 84 in 0bd3f4e
