Description
CVE-2025-71323 is a critical vulnerability in picklescan versions before 0.0.33 where the software fails to block the ctypes module. This allows attackers to craft malicious pickle files that leverage ctypes.WinDLL to load kernel32.dll and execute arbitrary commands, bypassing sandbox protections and gadget chain detection. The vulnerability enables remote code execution without requiring user interaction or privileges.
