CVE-2020-1953: Improper Input Validation
(updated )
Apache Commons Configuration uses a third-party library to parse YAML files which by default allows the instantiation of classes if the YAML includes special statements. If a YAML file was loaded from an untrusted source, it could therefore load and execute code out of the control of the host application.
