Hi @DeBruyne2020,

Welcome! I suggest looking at the [security announcement here for the details](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elasticsearch-security-statement-regarding-cve-2022-1471/343006). It states that in general, Elasticsearch does not use Snakeyaml to parse YAML, but does note that it was removed as a direct dependency in v8.3.0 and the transitive dependency was upgraded to snakeyaml 2.0 in v8.8.0:

> In 8.3.0 and onwards, snakeyaml has been removed as a direct dependency in ["Remove direct snakeyaml dependency from launcher tools"](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/86248) and switched to using X-Content , which is backed by [jackson-dataformats-text](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-dataformats-text). Snakeyaml is bundled in Elasticsearch only as a transitive dependency of [jackson-dataformats-text](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-dataformats-text) but [jackson-dataformats-text](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-dataformats-text) does not use snakeyaml for YAML parsing either, but uses other parts of the library in a supportive fashion. The developers of [jackson-dataformats-text](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-dataformats-text) [**attest**](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-dataformats-text/issues/361) that their YAML parsing is not in any way affected by CVE-2022-1471.

> In 8.8.0 and onwards, this transitive snakeyaml dependency has nevertheless been upgraded to 2.0, as part of Elastic standard maintenance efforts.

Hope that helps!
