Vulnerability Details

SnakeYaml's Constructor() class does not restrict types which can be instantiated during deserialization. Deserializing yaml content provided by an attacker can lead to remote code execution. We recommend using SnakeYaml's SafeConsturctor when parsing untrusted content to restrict deserialization.

The current issue comes from upstream OS:

    Dependency Hierarchy:

        opensearch-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar (Root Library)
            opensearch-x-content-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
                ❌ snakeyaml-1.32.jar (Vulnerable Library)

related: opensearch-project/OpenSearch#5576
Looks like resolution in opensearch was a code change. We can close this as observability does not use snakeyaml directly.

Closing this issue as observability does not use snakeyaml directly as mentioned in the above comment.
