Picklescan - Arbitrary Code Execution via Unsafe Numpy Function Detection Bypass

Published Jun 30, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 7.6 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Picklescan before 0.0.25 fails to detect unsafe global functions in the Numpy library, allowing attackers to bypass static analysis and execute arbitrary code during deserialization. Attackers can craft malicious pickle files using numpy.testing._private.utils.runstring within the reduce method to import dangerous libraries like os and execute arbitrary OS commands when the pickle file is loaded.
