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." } ] }, "problemtype" : { "problemtype_data" : [ { "description" : [ { "lang" : "eng", "value" : "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references" : { "reference_data" : [ { "name" : "https://github.com/bbengfort/confire/issues/24", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "https://github.com/bbengfort/confire/issues/24" }, { "name" : "https://joel-malwarebenchmark.github.io/blog/2017/11/12/cve-2017-16763-configure-loaded-through-confire/", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "https://joel-malwarebenchmark.github.io/blog/2017/11/12/cve-2017-16763-configure-loaded-through-confire/" }, { "name" : "https://github.com/bbengfort/confire/commit/8cc86a5ec2327e070f1d576d61bbaadf861597ea", "refsource" : "CONFIRM", "url" : "https://github.com/bbengfort/confire/commit/8cc86a5ec2327e070f1d576d61bbaadf861597ea" } ] } }
