Code for veracode blog

To demonstrate the Code Execution,

1. Build the project using maven
2. Execute python3 -m http.server 8080 to run the http server
3. Run exploit.java. You should observe a HTTP GET request on the server
4. To demonstrate how SnakeYAML 2.0 prevents the attack, comment out the 1.33 dependency in the pom.xml
5. Uncomment the 2.0 dependency, then rebuild the project,
6. Comment out exploit.java and uncomment Poc.java
7. Run Poc.java and observe no GET request
