of evaluating typeglobs, because with the typeglob feature you would
be able to set the variable $YAML::LoadCode from a YAML file, and that
would be a security issue.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as
possible without introducing additional issues."
