Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Crawl4AI versions prior to 0.8.0 contain a local file inclusion vulnerability in the Docker API
 deployment. The /execute_js, /screenshot, /pdf, and /html endpoints accept file:// URLs, allowing
 unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem. An attacker can
 access sensitive files such as /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, application configuration files, and environment

 structure. (CVE-2026-26217)
