CVE-2025-1716
February 26, 2025
picklescan before 0.0.21 does not treat 'pip' as an unsafe global. An attacker could craft a malicious model that uses Pickle to pull in a malicious PyPI package (hosted, for example, on pypi.org or GitHub) via "pip.main()". Because pip is not a restricted global, the model, when scanned with picklescan, would pass security checks and appear to be safe, when it could instead prove to be problematic.
Affected Packages
picklescan (PYTHON):
Affected version(s) >=0.0.1 <0.0.22
