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...

Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs

Overview picklescan is a Security scanner detecting Python Pickle files performing suspicious actions Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs in the unsafeglobals function. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by crafting a malicious pickle that...

EUVD-2026-1687

Fickling is a Python pickling decompiler and static analyzer. Fickling versions up to and including 0.1.6 do not treat Python's cProfile module as unsafe. Because of this, a malicious pickle that uses cProfile.run is classified as SUSPICIOUS instead of OVERTLYMALICIOUS. If a user relies on...
