{"id":"GHSA-rrxm-2pvv-m66x","summary":"Picklescan is vulnerable to RCE via missing detection when calling numpy.f2py.crackfortran.getlincoef","details":"### Summary\n\nPicklescan uses the `numpy.f2py.crackfortran.getlincoef` function (a NumPy F2PY helper) to execute arbitrary Python code during unpickling.\n\n### Details\n\nPicklescan fails to detect a malicious pickle that uses the gadget `numpy.f2py.crackfortran.getlincoef` in `__reduce__`, allowing arbitrary command execution when the pickle is loaded. A crafted object returns this function plus attacker‑controlled arguments; the scan reports the file as safe, but pickle.load() triggers execution.\n\n### PoC\n```python\nclass PoC:\n    def __reduce__(self):\n        from numpy.f2py.crackfortran import getlincoef\n        return getlincoef, (\"__import__('os').system('whoami')\", None)\n```\n\n### Impact\n\n- Arbitrary code execution on the victim machine once they load the “scanned as safe” pickle / model file.\n- Affects any workflow relying on Picklescan to vet untrusted pickle / PyTorch artifacts.\n- Enables supply‑chain poisoning of shared model files.\n\n### Credits\n- [ac0d3r](https://github.com/ac0d3r)\n- [Tong Liu](https://lyutoon.github.io), Institute of information engineering, CAS","aliases":["CVE-2025-71372"],"modified":"2026-07-08T07:35:40.873362586Z","published":"2025-12-30T15:18:16Z","database_specific":{"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2025-12-30T15:18:16Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-502","CWE-94"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mmaitre314/picklescan/security/advisories/GHSA-rrxm-2pvv-m66x"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mmaitre314/picklescan/pull/53"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mmaitre314/picklescan/commit/70c1c6c31beb6baaf52c8db1b6c3c0e84a6f9dab"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/mmaitre314/picklescan"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mmaitre314/picklescan/releases/tag/v0.0.33"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"picklescan","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/picklescan"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.0.33"}]}],"versions":["0.0.1","0.0.10","0.0.11","0.0.12","0.0.13","0.0.14","0.0.15","0.0.16","0.0.17","0.0.18","0.0.19","0.0.2","0.0.20","0.0.21","0.0.22","0.0.23","0.0.24","0.0.25","0.0.26","0.0.27","0.0.28","0.0.29","0.0.3","0.0.30","0.0.31","0.0.32","0.0.4","0.0.5","0.0.6","0.0.7","0.0.8","0.0.9"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2025/12/GHSA-rrxm-2pvv-m66x/GHSA-rrxm-2pvv-m66x.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P"}]}
