PT-2025-15904

Summary Using timeit.timeit function, which is a built-in python library function to execute remote pickle file. Details Pickle’s deserialization process is known to allow execution of function via reduce method. While Picklescan is meant to detect such exploits, this attack evades detection by...

Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE)

PickleScan is vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution ACE. The vulnerability is due to PickleScan failing to detect malicious pickle files when specific ZIP file flag bits are modified, allowing attackers to embed harmful pickle files that remain unnoticed while still being loaded by PyTorch’s...

Insufficient Verification Of Data Authenticity

PickleScan is vulnerable to Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity. The vulnerability is due to a discrepancy in filename handling due to differences between ZIP header filenames and directory listing filenames, which allows an attacker to bypass detection by causing PickleScan to crash...
