CVE-2025-71378
HighCVSS 8.1Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk23th percentile - higher than 23% of all known CVEs
Summary
The vulnerability in picklescan before version 0.0.30 fails to detect cProfile.runctx function calls in pickle file reduce methods, allowing attackers to bypass scanning and execute arbitrary code when a malicious pickle file is loaded via pickle.load().
Risk Assessment
The organization is at risk of remote code execution (RCE) by loading a crafted pickle file, which could lead to system compromise or data theft.
Recommendation
Immediately update picklescan to version 0.0.30 or later. Additionally, avoid loading pickle files from untrusted sources.
Other vulnerabilities in picklescan przed wersją 0.0.30
See all- CVE-2025-71357High
A vulnerability in picklescan before version 0.0.30 allows bypassing detection of malicious pickle files. Attackers can use the idlelib.pyshell.ModifiedInterpreter.runcommand method in reduce functions to hide code that executes remote commands when the file is loaded by the victim.
- CVE-2025-71348High
The vulnerability in picklescan before version 0.0.28 fails to detect malicious pickle files that invoke the torch.utils._config_module.load_config function within reduce methods. Attackers can craft pickle files embedding arbitrary code that evades detection but executes during pickle.load, enabling remote code execution in supply chain attacks.
Original NVD description (English source)
picklescan before 0.0.30 fails to detect cProfile.runctx function calls in pickle file reduce methods, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code. Malicious pickle files bypass picklescan detection and execute remote code when loaded via pickle.load().
