Summary
Duplicate Advisory: Picklescan has a missing detection when calling built-in python profile.Profile.runctx
Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-6vqj-c2q5-j97w. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

picklescan before 0.0.29 fails to detect the profile.Profile.runctx function when analyzing pickle files, allowing attackers to embed undetected malicious code. Remote attackers can craft malicious pickle files using profile.Profile.runctx in the reduce method to achieve remote code execution when the pickle file is loaded.
