36th percentile - higher than 36% of all known CVEs

Summary

Picklescan before version 0.0.28 fails to detect malicious pickle files that use torch.utils.data.datapipes.utils.decoder.basichandlers in reduce methods, allowing attackers to bypass safety checks. Remote attackers can embed undetected malicious code in pickle files that executes during deserialization, enabling remote code execution.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of remote code execution (RCE) via malicious pickle files, which could lead to system compromise, data theft, or lateral movement within the network.

Recommendation

Immediately update picklescan to version 0.0.28 or later. Additionally, implement validation of pickle files before deserialization and restrict the sources of these files.
