Description
picklescan - Security scanning bypass via ‘pip main’
Details
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.
