CVE-2025-71340

CVE-2025-71340 affects the picklescan tool up to version 0.0.26, where malicious pickle files can invoke idlelib.pyshell.ModifiedInterpreter.runcode via reduce , allowing code execution when loaded with pickle.load(). This enables supply‑chain attacks on PyTorch models and saved Python objects. T...

Remote Code Execution (RCE)

picklescan is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution RCE. The vulnerability is due to the idlelib.run.Executive.runcode function executing arbitrary pickle files, which allows an attacker to run malicious code remotely...
