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...

PYSEC-2025-21

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...

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...

CVE-2025-1945 picklescan - Zip Flag Bit Exploit Crashes Picklescan But Not PyTorch

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...

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...

PyTorch Model Files Can Bypass Pickle Scanners via Unexpected Pickle Extensions

CVE-2025-1889 Summary Picklescan fails to detect hidden pickle files embedded in PyTorch model archives due to its reliance on file extensions for detection. This allows an attacker to embed a secondary, malicious pickle file with a non-standard extension inside a model archive, which remains...
