CVE-2025-1716 NOMISEC CRITICAL TROJAN
picklescan <0.0.21 - Code Injection
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.
CVSS 9.8
CVE-2025-1716 WRITEUP CRITICAL WRITEUP
picklescan <0.0.21 - Code Injection
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()`.

CVE-2025-1944 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
PickleScan <0.0.23 - Code Injection
picklescan before 0.0.23 is vulnerable to a ZIP archive manipulation attack that causes it to crash when attempting to extract and scan PyTorch model archives. By modifying the filename in the ZIP header while keeping the original filename in the directory listing, an attacker can make PickleScan raise a BadZipFile error. However, PyTorch's more forgiving ZIP implementation still allows the model to be loaded, enabling malicious payloads to bypass detection.
CVSS 6.5
CVE-2025-1945 WRITEUP CRITICAL WRITEUP
picklescan < 0.0.23 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity via ZIP File Header Bit Manipulation
picklescan before 0.0.23 fails to detect malicious pickle files inside PyTorch model archives when certain ZIP file flag bits are modified. By flipping specific bits in the ZIP file headers, an attacker can embed malicious pickle files that remain undetected by PickleScan while still being successfully loaded by PyTorch's torch.load(). This can lead to arbitrary code execution when loading a compromised model.
