Summary

### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-6vqj-c2q5-j97w.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.

Affected packages

Remediation: Upgrade to 0.0.29 or later.
