72+ ## Security Note
73+
74+ PyYAML, a requirement of this project, has a
75+ [ security vulnerability] ( https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-18342 )
76+ in the default implementation of ` yaml.load() ` , which allows execution
77+ of arbitrary code while loading a target file or stream. OpenAPI Spec
78+ Validator uses a safe loader to ensure that only Python objects
79+ marked as safe can be executed. Thus, you are not exposed to this
80+ vulnerability by using this package.
81+
82+ If you use ` PyYAML ` directly, be sure to use ` yaml.safe_load() ` to
83+ avoid inadvertantly exposing youself to potentially malicous data. The
84+ [ PyYAML docs] ( https://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAMLDocumentation#loading-yaml )
85+ describe this issue in detail.
