Improper Input Validation

picklescan is vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. The vulnerability is due to inadequate validation in the scanning logic that fails to properly inspect pickle files with PyTorch-related extensions, which allows an attacker to bypass security checks and execute malicious code when the file i...

Protection Mechanism Failure

picklescan is vulnerable to Protection Mechanism Failure. The vulnerability is due to improper error handling in the ZIP archive scanning component when processing files with a bad Cyclic Redundancy Check CRC, which allows an attacker to craft a malicious ZIP archive that halts the scan and...

Duplicate Advisory: Picklescan is Vulnerable to Unsafe Globals Check Bypass through Subclass Imports

Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-f7qq-56ww-84cr. This link is maintained to preserve external references. Original Description A Protection Mechanism Failure vulnerability in mmaitre314 picklescan versions up to and including 0.0.30 allows a...

PYSEC-2025-153

A Protection Mechanism Failure vulnerability in mmaitre314 picklescan versions up to and including 0.0.30 allows a remote attacker to bypass the unsafe globals check. This is possible because the scanner performs an exact match for module names, allowing malicious payloads to be loaded via...

picklescan 安全漏洞

picklescan is a security scanning program by the individual developer Matthieu Maitre. A security vulnerability exists in picklescan version 0.0.30 and earlier, which stems from an insufficient module name check that could lead to bypassing insecure global checks and executing malicious code...

Picklescan is Vulnerable to Unsafe Globals Check Bypass through Subclass Imports

Summary The vulnerability allows malicious actors to bypass PickleScan's unsafe globals check, leading to potential arbitrary code execution. The issue stems from PickleScan's strict check for full module names against its list of unsafe globals. By using subclasses of dangerous imports instead o...
