    Summary: Cobbler vulnerable to code injection via unsafe YAML loading

    Details: The `set_mgmt_parameters` function in item.py in cobbler before 2.2.2 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the use of the `yaml.load` function instead of the `yaml.safe_load function`, as demonstrated using Puppet.
