QID 981133: Python (pip) Security Update for owlmixin (GHSA-ccmq-qvcp-5mrm)

An exploitable vulnerability exists in the YAML loading functionality of util.py in OwlMixin before 2.0.0a12. A "Load YAML" string or file (aka load_yaml or load_yamlf) can execute arbitrary Python commands resulting in command execution because load is used where safe_load should have been used. An attacker can insert Python into loaded YAML to trigger this vulnerability.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
