Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from TypeNameInTagNodeTypeResolver
's Resolve
method which processes YAML tags without validation. The patch replaces this resolver with PreventUnknownTagsNodeTypeResolver
and adds tag mapping requirements. The specific line using Type.GetType
with nodeEvent.Tag
demonstrates direct processing of untrusted input for type resolution, matching the CVE description of insecure deserialization. Runtime exploitation would show this resolver being invoked when parsing malicious tags.
