Users utilizing versions of the Yak Engine prior to 1.2.4-sp1 are impacted.

Patches

The vulnerability has been addressed and patched. Users are advised to upgrade to Yak Engine version 1.2.4-sp1 immediately. The patch can be viewed and reviewed at this PR: https://github.com/yaklang/yaklang/pull/295，https://github.com/yaklang/yaklang/pull/296

Workarounds

Currently, the most effective solution is to upgrade to the patched version of Yak Engine (1.2.4-sp1). Users are also advised to avoid exposing vulnerable versions to untrusted input and to closely monitor any unexpected server behavior until they can upgrade.
