Denial of Service in go-yaml
CVE: CVE-2021-4235
Component: go-yaml
CWE: CWE-400
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.4/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2021-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

A flaw was found in go-yaml. This issue occurs due to unbounded alias chasing, where a maliciously crafted YAML file can cause the system to consume significant system resources. If parsing user input, this may be used as a denial of service vector.
