Security update has been released for parlai to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Due to use of unsafe YAML deserialization logic, an attacker with the ability to modify local YAML configuration files could provide malicious input, resulting in remote code execution or similar risks.

CVSS V3 rated as Critical - 8.8 severity.

Solution

The issue can be patched by upgrading to v1.1.0 or later. It can also be patched by replacing YAML deserialization with equivalent safe_load calls.
