Picklescan is vulnerable to RCE via missing detection when calling numpy.f2py.crackfortran.getlincoef

  • Disclosed: 30.12.2025
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 13:19

Summary

Picklescan uses the numpy.f2py.crackfortran.getlincoef function (a NumPy F2PY helper) to execute arbitrary Python code during unpickling.

Details

Picklescan fails to detect a malicious pickle that uses the gadget numpy.f2py.crackfortran.getlincoef in __reduce__, allowing arbitrary command execution when the pickle is loaded. A crafted object returns this function plus attacker‑controlled arguments; the scan reports the file as safe, but pickle.load() triggers execution.

PoC

python
class PoC:
    def __reduce__(self):
        from numpy.f2py.crackfortran import getlincoef
        return getlincoef, ("__import__('os').system('whoami')", None)

Impact

  • Arbitrary code execution on the victim machine once they load the “scanned as safe” pickle / model file.
  • Affects any workflow relying on Picklescan to vet untrusted pickle / PyTorch artifacts.
  • Enables supply‑chain poisoning of shared model files.
