I am not that expert enough to explain this to you clearly but just letting you know how danger this is.
You can always consult a web-server security consultant.
Unless one situation (theoreotically)... define external data folder to someplace which is a mounted remote folder.

Older versions of Internet Explorer had a bug that would run scripts in any embedded file they found.
I ended up forcing even signature images to be local on my own forum because the stuff people put in their signatures would often slow down the entire page.

"Upload from URL" is acceptable, as long as XenForo can extract only image data from the URL-uploaded file to generate local avatar file copies.
"Direct link from external URL" is dangerous as what @Vekseid said in #7.
