Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

Overview picklescan is a Security scanner detecting Python Pickle files performing suspicious actions Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity due to improper handling of modified ZIP file flag bits. Attackers can exploit this by altering...

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...
