CVE-2025-71348
HIGH 7.6 PoC AVAILABLEpicklescan 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.
Public exploit or PoC code exists. Modeled probability is still low, but the barrier to attack is reduced — watch closely.
