What is CVE-2025-71348?

Picklescan versions prior to 0.0.28 are susceptible to a significant vulnerability that enables attackers to exploit the functionality of malicious pickle files. By circumventing detection mechanisms, these crafted pickle files can invoke the 'torch.utils._config_module.load_config' function during deserialization processes, specifically within reduce methods. This flaw allows for the execution of arbitrary code during the pickle.load operation, posing a substantial risk of remote code execution in supply chain contexts.
