An exploitable vulnerability exists in the Databook loading functionality of Tablib 0.11.4. A yaml loaded Databook can execute arbitrary python commands resulting in command execution. An attacker can insert python into loaded yaml to trigger this vulnerability.

snort
Snort rules: 42195-42196
  • Detect use of unsafe yaml.load() API call instead of yaml.safe_load() in PyYAML-based applications; exploitation of CVE-2017-2810 relies on yaml.load being called on attacker-controlled YAML databook content.
  • Monitor for arbitrary Python command execution triggered via YAML Databook loading in Tablib; attacker payload is embedded Python code within YAML content supplied to the Databook loader.
  • Flag ingestion of untrusted YAML-format Databook files by python-tablib processes; the vulnerability is triggered at load time when yaml.load processes attacker-controlled input.
  • ·Snort rules 42195-42196 are subject to change; always refer to the latest ruleset from FireSIGHT Management Center or Snort.org for current detection coverage.
  • ·Red Hat assessed the python-tablib code path as unreachable in supported Red Hat OpenStack Platform configurations, so detections may produce false positives or be irrelevant in those environments.
