Code injection via unsafe YAML loading

Source: GitHub Advisory Database (reviewed) High CVE-2021-43811

Packages

Ecosystem	Package	Affected	Fixed in
PyPI	sockeye	< 2.3.24	2.3.24

Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Impact Sockeye uses YAML to store model and data configurations on disk. Versions below 2.3.24 use unsafe YAML loading, which can be made to execute arbitrary code embedded in config files. An attacker can add malicious code to the config file of a trained model and attempt to convince users to download and run it. If users run the model, the embedded code will run locally. ### Patches The issue is fixed in version 2.3.24 and above by #964. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [awslabs/sockeye](https://github.com/awslabs/sockeye) * Email us at [sockeye-dev](mailto:[email protected]) ### Attribution This vulnerability was reported by Masatoshi Yoshizawa of yamory Security Team.
