Sneaky YAML Manifest Injection

description: I came across this neat technique where you can use YAML file structure to hide commands. It could be handy for developers testing config files or even for admin tasks, since it leverages the complexity of YAML formatting.

# YAML Configuration
settings:
  mode: normal
  execute: [${'this is a hidden command'}]
  log: "Potentially harmful execution suppressed"

threat: 3.5/5
