Summary

A vulnerability in picklescan before version 0.0.28 allows bypassing detection of malicious pickle files. Attackers can exploit the torch._dynamo.guards.GuardBuilder.get function in reduce methods to embed code that evades detection and executes arbitrary commands upon loading.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of remote code execution (RCE) by loading a crafted pickle file, potentially leading to system compromise, data theft, or lateral movement within the network.

Recommendation

Immediately update picklescan to version 0.0.28 or later. Additionally, restrict loading pickle files from untrusted sources and implement input validation mechanisms.
