SnakeYaml's Constructor() class does not restrict types which can be instantiated during deserialization. Deserializing yaml content provided by an attacker can lead to remote code execution. We recommend using SnakeYaml's SafeConsturctor when parsing untrusted content to restrict deserialization. We recommend upgrading to version 2.0 and beyond.
CVE-2022-1471
Score elevated to 9.0 because EPSS predicts 100% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (99th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 8.3 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 100%
- Public exploit code is available (Metasploit, ssvc poc, epss top5pct, epss high, public exploit)
A fix is available — apply it.

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score: it fuses intrinsic severity with real-world exploitation and automatability so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner. Distinct from the 0–10 EG Score (severity).
