CVE-2011-4953: Cobbler Project Cobbler

Medium severity, CVSS 6.8. EPSS: 2.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The set_mgmt_parameters function in item.py in cobbler before 2.2.2 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the use of the yaml.load function instead of the yaml.safe_load function, as demonstrated using Puppet.
