5.3 mediumCVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:NCVE-2025-1716
Medium (5.3) in mmaitre314 picklescan. EPSS 1.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in picklescan 0.0.21, 0.0.22.
picklescan before 0.0.21 does not treat 'pip' as an unsafe global. An attacker could craft a malicious model that uses Pickle to pull in a malicious PyPI package (hosted, for example, on pypi.org or GitHub) via `pip.main()`. Because pip is not a restricted global, the model, when scanned with picklescan, would pass security checks and appear to be safe, when it could instead prove to be problematic.
