Replace yaml.load with yaml.safe_load for Enhanced Security #150
Conversation
This pull request addresses a security vulnerability in our codebase by replacing the potentially unsafe yaml.load function with the safer yaml.safe_load. The yaml.load function, when used with untrusted input, can execute arbitrary code, leading to potential security risks. By switching to yaml.safe_load, we ensure that only a subset of the YAML language is parsed, effectively mitigating these risks. Changes Made: Replaced all instances of yaml.load with yaml.safe_load in the script. Updated the relevant test cases to align with the safe_load usage. Benefits: Improves security by preventing arbitrary code execution. Maintains functionality while reducing risk from untrusted YAML inputs.
