This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against NodeJS. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Extended Description
The JS-YAML module before 2.0.5 for Node.js parses input without properly considering the unsafe !!js/function tag, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string that triggers an eval operation.
