The current implementation in okta/okta_configuration.py utilizes yaml.load with potentially
unsafe loaders, which is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution during deserialization of
untrusted YAML input.
Technical Root Cause:
Unsafe loaders (like yaml.Loader or yaml.CLoader) allow the instantiation of any Python object,
providing a direct vector for Remote Code Execution (RCE). Automated analysis has flagged this as
a critical security risk when processing configuration files.
Changes:
only.
This hardening measure eliminates a critical attack vector and aligns the SDK with modern security
standards for data serialization.
