Hello,
this PR shows a problem with input validation in go-yaml by adding a Go fuzz target.
If you are not familiar with Go 1.18 fuzzy tests, see https://tip.golang.org/doc/tutorial/fuzz.
The main problem is that the code does input validation with a deny list, while for robustness
it should do the opposite, use an explicit allow list. See for example
https://guides.codepath.org/websecurity/Prefer-whitelisting-over-blacklisting
This PR is not meant to be merged as-is; it is only a suggestion for how you could make
go-yaml more robust.
