CVE-2025-71323

picklescan before 0.0.33 fails to block the ctypes module, allowing attackers to achieve remote code execution by invoking direct syscalls and accessing raw memory. Attackers can craft malicious pickle files using ctypes.WinDLL to load kernel32.dll and execute arbitrary commands, bypassing sandbo...

Attackers can craft malicious pickle files using ctypes.WinDLL to load kernel32.dll and execute arbitrary commands, bypassing sandbo...

Remote Code Execution (RCE)

fickling is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution RCE. The vulnerability is due to the failure to explicitly block dangerous modules such as ctypes and pydoc, which allows an attacker to chain pydoc.locate with ctypes during pickle analysis to achieve RCE while the malicious pickle file is still...

CVE-2026-22608

Fickling is a Python pickling decompiler and static analyzer. Prior to version 0.1.7, both ctypes and pydoc modules aren't explicitly blocked. Even other existing pickle scanning tools like picklescan do not block pydoc.locate. Chaining these two together can achieve RCE while the scanner still...

PT-2026-2228

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Fickling versions prior to 0.1.7 Description Fickling, a Python pickling decompiler and static analyzer, does not explicitly block the ctypes and pydoc modules in versions prior to 0.1.7. Combining these modules can lead to Remote Code Executi...

Fickling 代码问题漏洞

Fickling is an open source decompiler and static analyzer for Python by Trail of Bits. A code issue vulnerability exists in versions of Fickling prior to 0.1.7 that stems from not explicitly blocking the ctypes and pydoc modules, which could lead to remote code execution...

GHSA-Q5QQ-MVFM-J35X Fickling has Static Analysis Bypass via Incomplete Dangerous Module Blocklist

Fickling's assessment ctypes, importlib, runpy, code and multiprocessing were added the list of unsafe imports https://github.com/trailofbits/fickling/commit/9a2b3f89bd0598b528d62c10a64c1986fcb09f66, https://github.com/trailofbits/fickling/commit/eb299b453342f1931c787bcb3bc33f3a03a173f9,...

GHSA-5HVC-6WX8-MVV4 Fickling vulnerable to use of ctypes and pydoc gadget chain to bypass detection

Fickling's assessment pydoc and ctypes were added to the list of unsafe imports https://github.com/trailofbits/fickling/commit/b793563e60a5e039c5837b09d7f4f6b92e6040d1. Original report Summary Both ctypes and pydoc modules arent explictly blocked. Even other existing pickle scanning tools like...

Picklescan does not block ctypes

Summary Picklescan doesnt flag ctypes module as a dangerous module, which is a huge issue. ctypes is basically a foreign function interface library and can be used to Load DLLs Call C functions directly Manipulate memory raw pointers. This can allow attackers to achieve RCE by invoking direct...

BIT-LIBPYTHON-2021-3177

Python 3.x through 3.9.1 has a buffer overflow in PyCArgrepr in ctypes/callproc.c, which may lead to remote code execution in certain Python applications that accept floating-point numbers as untrusted input, as demonstrated by a 1e300 argument to cdouble.fromparam. This occurs because sprintf is...

python: Stack-based buffer overflow in PyCArg_repr in _ctypes/callproc.c

A flaw was found in python. A stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the ctypes module provided within Python. Applications that use ctypes without carefully validating the input passed to it may be vulnerable to this flaw, which would allow an attacker to overflow a buffer on the stack an...

OESA-2021-1066 python3 security update

Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems. New built-in modules are easily written in C or C...
