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...

CVE-2026-22608 Fickling vulnerable to use of ctypes and pydoc gadget chain to bypass detection

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...

GHSA-84R2-JW7C-4R5Q Picklescan has Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs

Summary Currently picklescanner only blocks some specific functions of the pydoc and operator modules. Attackers can use other functions within these allowed modules to go through undetected and achieve RCE on the final user. Particularly pydoc.locate: Can dynamically resolve and import arbitrary...
