{"id":"PYSEC-2017-19","details":"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.","aliases":["CVE-2017-16615","GHSA-xpm8-98mx-h4c5"],"modified":"2023-11-08T03:59:13.061322Z","published":"2017-11-08T03:29:00Z","references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/thanethomson/MLAlchemy/issues/1"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://joel-malwarebenchmark.github.io/blog/2017/11/08/cve-2017-16615-critical-restful-web-applications-vulnerability/"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/thanethomson/MLAlchemy/commit/bc795757febdcce430d89f9d08f75c32d6989d3c"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xpm8-98mx-h4c5"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"mlalchemy","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/mlalchemy"},"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/thanethomson/MLAlchemy","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"bc795757febdcce430d89f9d08f75c32d6989d3c"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.2.2"}]}],"versions":["0.1.0","0.1.1","0.1.2","0.1.3","0.2.0","0.2.1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/blob/main/vulns/mlalchemy/PYSEC-2017-19.yaml"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3"}
