What is CVE-2025-71375?

Picklescan versions before 0.0.34 exhibit a vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit the _operator.methodcaller built-in function when scanning for malicious code in pickle files. This shortcoming enables the creation of malicious payloads that can bypass detection mechanisms, leading to arbitrary code execution when files are opened with pickle.load(). Users are urged to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
