Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MCollective versions prior to 2.10.4

Description The issue allows for potential arbitrary code execution on the server due to the deserialization of YAML from agents without using safe load. This could be exploited if an attacker sends maliciously crafted YAML input.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.10.4, update to version 2.10.4 or later to ensure that YAML input is handled securely using YAML.safe load. As a temporary workaround, consider modifying the affected code to use YAML.safe load on input from agents.
