If a YAML file is from an untrusted source, it can therefore load and execute code out of the control of the host application. Mitigation: Users should upgrade to to 2.7, which prevents class instantiation by the YAML processor. Credit: This issue was discovered by Daniel Kalinowski of ISEC.pl Research Team Oliver Heger on behalf of the Apache Commons PMC
