PYSEC-2017-78

Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2017-11-10 09:29 - Updated: 2021-08-25 04:29

Details

An exploitable vulnerability exists in the YAML parsing functionality in config.py in Confire 0.2.0. Due to the user-specific configuration being loaded from "~/.confire.yaml" using the yaml.load function, a YAML parser can execute arbitrary Python commands resulting in command execution. An attacker can insert Python into loaded YAML to trigger this vulnerability.
