GHSA-r9x2-mw85-9c4x
picklescan versions before 0.0.33 do not detect unsafe deserialization vulnerabilities related to numpy.f2py.crackfortran functions that call eval on arbitrary strings. This allows attackers to embed malicious code in pickle files, which executes when loaded from untrusted sources, leading to potential code execution.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in picklescan prior to version 0.0.33 involves unsafe deserialization due to the numpy.f2py.crackfortran functions invoking eval on arbitrary strings. This flaw enables attackers to craft malicious pickle files that execute arbitrary code upon deserialization. The issue is categorized under CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data). No patch or official fix information is currently provided, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking users into loading malicious pickle files. This can lead to full compromise of the affected system or application environment where picklescan is used to process untrusted pickle data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, avoid loading pickle files from untrusted or unauthenticated sources, especially those involving numpy.f2py.crackfortran functionality.
