How to fix?

Upgrade yamldotnet to version 5.0.0 or higher.

Overview

yamldotnetprovides low level parsing and emitting of YAML as well as a high level object model similar to XmlDocument.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution.

The Deserializer.Deserialize() function deserializes user-controlled types and blindly instantiates them. An attacker may send a specually crafted yaml file, which will then execute code in the context of the running process.
