Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.55%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
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.
