CVE-2025-71344

7.6 HIGH 0.5% exploit odds Fix listed Code execution

What it is

picklescan before 0.0.30 (affected versions 0.0.26 and earlier) fails to detect the ensurepip._run_pip built-in function when scanning pickle files, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code. Malicious pickle files embedding ensurepip._run_pip calls in __reduce__ methods bypass picklescan detection and achieve remote code execution upon pickle.load() invocation.
