Mmaitre314: >> Picklescan >> 0.0.1 Security Vulnerabilities
picklescan before 0.0.30 fails to detect malicious pickle files using idlelib.pyshell.ModifiedInterpreter.runcommand in reduce methods. Attackers can embed undetected code in pickle files that executes remote commands when loaded by victims.

picklescan before 0.0.30 fails to detect cProfile.runctx function calls in pickle file reduce methods, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code. Malicious pickle files bypass picklescan detection and execute remote code when loaded via pickle.load().

picklescan before 0.0.28 fails to detect malicious pickle files that invoke torch.utils._config_module.load_config function within reduce methods. Attackers can craft pickle files embedding arbitrary code that evades detection but executes during pickle.load, enabling remote code execution in supply chain attacks.

picklescan before 1.0.1 contains an unsafe pickle deserialization vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to create arbitrary zero-byte files via logging.FileHandler class instantiation. Attackers can exploit this by crafting malicious pickle payloads to bypass RCE blocklists and create lock files or other filesystem artifacts, potentially causing denial of service or application disruption.

A Protection Mechanism Failure vulnerability in mmaitre314 picklescan versions up to and including 0.0.30 allows a remote attacker to bypass the unsafe globals check. This is possible because the scanner performs an exact match for module names, allowing malicious payloads to be loaded via submodules of dangerous packages (e.g., 'asyncio.unix_events' instead of 'asyncio').
When the incorrectly considered safe file is loaded after scan, it can lead to the execution of malicious code.

An Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the ZIP archive scanning component of mmaitre314 picklescan allows a remote attacker to bypass security scans. This is achieved by crafting a ZIP archive containing a file with a bad Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), which causes the scanner to halt and fail to analyze the contents for malicious pickle files. When the file incorrectly considered safe is loaded, it can lead to the execution of malicious code.

An Improper Input Validation vulnerability in the scanning logic of mmaitre314 picklescan versions up to and including 0.0.30 allows a remote attacker to bypass pickle files security checks by supplying a standard pickle file with a PyTorch-related file extension. When the pickle file incorrectly considered safe is loaded, it can lead to the execution of malicious code.

The unsafe globals in Picklescan before 0.0.25 do not include ssl. Consequently, ssl.get_server_certificate can exfiltrate data via DNS after deserialization.

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.

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.
