Description
During the process of auditing a Java project using CodeQL
I discovered that Spring Boot 3 uses YAML as its configuration file format.
However, it seems that the CodeQL Java library does not currently support parsing YAML files.
Can CodeQL add support for YAML configuration files parse on java lib?
application.yml with vuln just like this(actuator endpoint * was exposed)
```yaml
management:
endpoints:
web:
exposure:
include: "*"
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the CodeQL Java library's current support for configuration-file parsing and the Spring Boot 3 application.yml example in the issue. Define what YAML support should cover and how the exposed actuator endpoint example should be represented or detected; done means the agreed YAML configuration cases are supported.
