CVE-2021-22557

Code execution in SLO Generator via YAML Payload

CVSS 5.3 MEDIUMEPSS 1.6%CWE-94
In short

SLO Generator can execute arbitrary code when processing specially crafted YAML files. An attacker who can provide a malicious YAML file to the application could run code with the privileges of the SLO Generator process.

Technical detail

The vulnerability exists in YAML file parsing without proper deserialization controls (CWE-94). An attacker can craft a YAML payload that triggers code execution during file loading. Exploitation requires the ability to supply or control YAML input to the SLO Generator application.

Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
SLO generator allows for loading of YAML files that if crafted in a specific format can allow for code execution within the context of the SLO Generator. We recommend upgrading SLO Generator past https://github.com/google/slo-generator/pull/173
