Description

metrics-reporter-config has been archived for over 3 years, and has received no updates in nearly 6 years:
https://github.com/addthis/metrics-reporter-config

metrics-reporter-config processes YAML unsafely: https://github.com/addthis/metrics-reporter-config/blob/master/reporter-config-base/src/main/java/com/addthis/metrics/reporter/config/AbstractReporterConfig.java#L39C34-L39C45

This is related to CASSANDRA-18614, which is focused on migrating to safe YAML processing for the main configuration files.
