CWE ID 502

Summary

CVE-2023-49297 is a vulnerability affecting PyDrive2, a library used to simplify Google Drive API V2 tasks. The issue lies in the library's handling of YAML files, which can result in arbitrary code execution due to unsafe deserialization. A maliciously crafted YAML file, even if not directly loaded into the code, can trigger the vulnerability if PyDrive2 is initialized in the same directory. This deserialization attack, addressed in commit `c57355dc` and included in release version `1.16.2`, can be exploited without the need for file loading. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to the latest version to mitigate this risk, as no known workarounds are available.
