Official Description

picklescan 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.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-71348 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.8.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-502): Insecure deserialization vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious objects during deserialization, potentially enabling remote code execution.
