Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ruamel.yaml versions prior to 0.16.8

Description The issue allows remote code execution when the load method is called with an untrusted argument, affecting developers who do not use safe methods like safe load.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.16.8, update to version 0.16.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider using the safe load method instead of the load method to minimize the risk of exploitation.
