How did you test for YAML injection? From my past experiences with Ruby (hardly any) YAML injection is difficult to test from a blackbox perspective as you need an understanding of the source code in order to be able to craft the appropriate serialized YAML object to yield code execution.

Couple of methods. For one thing, we test for status codes returned for particularly crafted YAML/XML parameters. Aside from that, we also carefully craft a YAML injection using a timing attack and test blind, that way.
