{"id":"PYSEC-2017-78","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.","aliases":["CVE-2017-16763","GHSA-m85c-9mf8-m2m6"],"modified":"2023-11-08T03:59:13.549390Z","published":"2017-11-10T09:29:00Z","references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/bbengfort/confire/issues/24"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://joel-malwarebenchmark.github.io/blog/2017/11/12/cve-2017-16763-configure-loaded-through-confire/"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/bbengfort/confire/commit/8cc86a5ec2327e070f1d576d61bbaadf861597ea"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-m85c-9mf8-m2m6"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"confire","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/confire"},"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/bbengfort/confire","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"8cc86a5ec2327e070f1d576d61bbaadf861597ea"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0.1.0"}]}],"versions":["0.1.0","0.1.1","0.2.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/blob/main/vulns/confire/PYSEC-2017-78.yaml"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3"}
