Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.83%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
picklescan before 0.0.30 fails to detect the asyncio.unix_events._UnixSubprocessTransport._start function in pickle reduce methods, allowing remote code execution. Attackers can craft malicious pickle files embedding this built-in function that evade detection but execute arbitrary commands when loaded.
