PYSEC-2026-1783

Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2026-07-07 16:03 - Updated: 2026-07-07 17:25

Details

Summary

Picklescan uses the numpy.f2py.crackfortran._eval_length function (a NumPy F2PY helper) to execute arbitrary Python code during unpickling.

Details

Picklescan fails to detect a malicious pickle that uses the gadget numpy.f2py.crackfortran._eval_length 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.

PoC

class PoC:
    def __reduce__(self):
        from numpy.f2py.crackfortran import _eval_length
        return _eval_length, ("__import__('os').system('whoami')", None)

Impact

Arbitrary code execution on the victim machine once they load the “scanned as safe” pickle / model file.
Affects any workflow relying on Picklescan to vet untrusted pickle / PyTorch artifacts.
Enables supply‑chain poisoning of shared model files.

Title

Picklescan - Arbitrary Code Execution via numpy.f2py.crackfortran._eval_length Gadget

Summary

Picklescan before 0.0.33 fails to detect the numpy.f2py.crackfortran._eval_length gadget in pickle __reduce__ methods, allowing arbitrary code execution. Attackers can craft malicious pickle files that execute arbitrary Python code when loaded by victims who trust Picklescan's safety validation.

GHSA-6556-FWC2-FG2P

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-30 15:20 – Updated: 2026-07-18 17:27

Summary

Picklescan is vulnerable to RCE through missing detection when calling numpy.f2py.crackfortran._eval_length

Details

Summary

Picklescan uses the numpy.f2py.crackfortran._eval_length function (a NumPy F2PY helper) to execute arbitrary Python code during unpickling.

Details

PoC

class PoC:
    def __reduce__(self):
        from numpy.f2py.crackfortran import _eval_length
        return _eval_length, ("__import__('os').system('whoami')", None)

Impact

Arbitrary code execution on the victim machine once they load the “scanned as safe” pickle / model file.
Affects any workflow relying on Picklescan to vet untrusted pickle / PyTorch artifacts.
Enables supply‑chain poisoning of shared model files.

A crafted object returns this function plus attacker\u2011controlled 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 _eval_length\n        return _eval_length, (\"__import__(\u0027os\u0027).system(\u0027whoami\u0027)\", None)\n```\n\n### Impact\n\n- Arbitrary code execution on the victim machine once they load the \u201cscanned as safe\u201d pickle / model file.\n- Affects any workflow relying on Picklescan to vet untrusted pickle / PyTorch artifacts.\n- Enables supply\u2011chain 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",

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
