    Unsafe deserialization in owlmixin

    CVE-2017-16618 · GHSA-ccmq-qvcp-5mrm

    Affected
    • PyPI owlmixin < 2.0.0
    Fixed in
    2.0.0· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    An exploitable vulnerability exists in the YAML loading functionality of util.py in OwlMixin before 2.0.0a12. A "Load YAML" string or file (aka loadyaml or loadyamlf) can execute arbitrary Python commands resulting in command execution because load is used where safeload should have been used. An attacker can insert Python into loaded YAML to trigger this vulnerability.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.0.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
