Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper YAML parser configuration (CWE-502). The advisory explicitly states the parser wasn't restricted to safe types pre-1.0.2. While exact function names
aren't provided, the pattern matches known YAML deserialization vulnerabilities where Yaml.load()
or similar methods are used without SafeConstructor
. The fix in 1.0.2 would logically involve adding type restrictions to this YAML parsing function
.
