CVE-2017-16616: Pyanyapi Project Pyanyapi

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 3.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An exploitable vulnerability exists in the YAML parsing functionality in the YAMLParser method in Interfaces.py in PyAnyAPI before 0.6.1. A YAML parser can execute arbitrary Python commands resulting in command execution because load is used where safe_load should have been used. An attacker can insert Python into loaded YAML to trigger this vulnerability.
