What is CVE-2025-71369?

The vulnerability in Picklescan prior to version 0.0.28 allows remote attackers to bypass safety checks by using malicious pickle files. These files exploit the torch.utils.data.datapipes.utils.decoder.basichandlers during the deserialization process, enabling remote code execution as harmful code is executed without detection. This poses a significant risk to users relying on the integrity of datastructures processed through pickle.
