yaml.parser.ParserError: while parsing a block mapping expected <block end>, but found ‘<scalar>’

Well that means nothing to me, really

I got this error:

yaml.parser.ParserError: while parsing a block mapping expected <block end>, but found ‘<scalar>’

when I did this:

Short_Description: >
    An attacker is able to input a manipulated string that executes an operating
  system command on the application or web server.

And this:

Short_Description: >
  An attacker is able to input a manipulated string that executes an operating
    system command on the application or web server.

Instead of this:

Short_Description: >
    An attacker is able to input a manipulated string that executes an operating
    system command on the application or web server.

In other words, it was a problem with my indentation for a multi-line block as indicated by the greater than symbol >.

Picky, picky.

Follow for updates.
