Quick fix
PYSEC-2017-19 — mlalchemy: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'mlalchemy>=bc795757febdcce430d89f9d08f75c32d6989d3c'Details
An exploitable vulnerability exists in the YAML parsing functionality in the parse_yaml_query method in parser.py in MLAlchemy before 0.2.2. When processing YAML-Based queries for data, a YAML parser can execute arbitrary Python commands resulting in command execution because load is used where safe_load should have been used. An attacker can insert Python into loaded YAML to trigger this vulnerability.
