PickleScan has multiple stdlib modules with direct RCE not in blocklist

Summary picklescan v1.0.3 latest does not block at least 7 Python standard library modules that provide direct arbitrary command execution or code evaluation. A malicious pickle file importing these modules is reported as having 0 issues CLEAN scan. This enables remote code execution that bypasse...

PickleScan's profile.run blocklist mismatch allows exec() bypass

Summary picklescan v1.0.3 blocks profile.Profile.run and profile.Profile.runctx but does NOT block the module-level profile.run function. A malicious pickle calling profile.runstatement achieves arbitrary code execution via exec while picklescan reports 0 issues. This is because the blocklist ent...

GHSA-97F8-7CMV-76J2 Picklescan (scan_pytorch) Bypass via dynamic eval MAGIC_NUMBER

Summary This is a scanning bypass to scanpytorch function in picklescan. As we can see in the implementation of getmagicnumber that uses pickletools.genopsdata to get the magicnumber with the condition opcode.name includes INT or LONG, but the PyTorch's implemtation simply uses picklemodule.load ...

CVE-2025-1944

picklescan before 0.0.23 is vulnerable to a ZIP archive manipulation attack that causes it to crash when attempting to extract and scan PyTorch model archives. By modifying the filename in the ZIP header while keeping the original filename in the directory listing, an attacker can make PickleScan...

CVE-2025-1889

picklescan before 0.0.22 only considers standard pickle file extensions in the scope for its vulnerability scan. An attacker could craft a malicious model that uses Pickle and include a malicious pickle file with a non-standard file extension. Because the malicious pickle file inclusion is not...

CVE-2025-1945

picklescan before 0.0.23 fails to detect malicious pickle files inside PyTorch model archives when certain ZIP file flag bits are modified. By flipping specific bits in the ZIP file headers, an attacker can embed malicious pickle files that remain undetected by PickleScan while still being...
