AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, avoid loading pickle files from untrusted sources or implement additional validation controls to detect malicious payloads.

Description

picklescan versions before 0.0.34 do not detect _operator.attrgetter function calls in pickle payloads. This allows attackers to craft malicious pickle files that use _operator.attrgetter in reduce methods to bypass security checks and execute arbitrary code during pickle.load().
