Description

An exploitable vulnerability exists in the YAML parsing functionality in the parse_yaml_query method in parser.py in MLAlchemy before 0.2.2. When processing YAML-Based queries for data, a YAML parser can execute arbitrary Python commands resulting in command execution because load is used where safe_load should have been used. An attacker can insert Python into loaded YAML to trigger this vulnerability.

Affected configurations

• mlalchemy project mlalchemy 0.1.1 • mlalchemy project mlalchemy 0.1.2 • mlalchemy project mlalchemy 0.1.3 • mlalchemy project mlalchemy 0.2.0 • mlalchemy project mlalchemy 0.2.1
