Beyond Source: An Empirical Study of Python Bytecode Security Risks

Python package security is largely source-centric, yet Python runtimes can execute bytecode directly through .pyc files, compiled-only modules, and marshalled code objects, creating an inspection-execution gap. We present an empirical study of Python bytecode as a security artifact. We measure...
