CVE-2026-72848 PUBLISHED

langchain-community SitemapLoader Does Not Apply restrict_to_same_domain to Nested Sitemap Index Entries, Allowing Server-Side Request Forgery

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 10.08.2026 Published: 20.08.2026 Updated: 20.08.2026

SitemapLoader.parse_sitemap in langchain_community/document_loaders/sitemap.py applies the documented restrict_to_same_domain control only to leaf url entries. The loop over url elements filters cross-domain locations, but the loop over nested sitemap elements passes the child loc straight to self.scrape_all([loc.text], "xml"), which reaches WebBaseLoader.scrape_all and an aiohttp GET, with no domain comparison and no check for private, loopback or link-local destinations. An attacker who controls or influences an ingested sitemap can therefore point a nested sitemap entry at an internal address and make the server fetch it even when the deploying application set restrict_to_same_domain to True specifically to confine outbound requests. The fetched content is parsed and surfaces in the returned Documents, so internal responses are disclosed to the caller rather than merely requested.
