GHSA-hw34-rqc5-h2gm: Duplicate Advisory: Picklescan Allows Remote Code Execution via Malicious Pickle File Bypassing Static Analysis

## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-769v-p64c-89pr. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description picklescan before 0.0.22 only considers standard pickle file extensions in the scope for its vulnerability scan. An attacker could craft a malicious model that uses Pickle include a malicious pickle file with a non-standard file extension. Because the malicious pickle file inclusion is not considered as part of the scope of picklescan, the file would pass security checks and appear to be safe, when it could instead prove to be problematic.

GHSA-655q-fx9r-782v: Picklescan Allows Remote Code Execution via Malicious Pickle File Bypassing Static Analysis

### Summary An unsafe deserialization vulnerability in Python’s pickle module allows an attacker to bypass static analysis tools like Picklescan and execute arbitrary code during deserialization. This can be exploited to run pip install and fetch a malicious package, enabling remote code execution (RCE) upon package installation. ### Details Pickle’s deserialization process allows execution of arbitrary functions via the __reduce__ method. While Picklescan is designed to detect such exploits, this attack evades detection by leveraging pip.main() as the callable function. Since pip is a legitimate package operation, it may not raise red flags in security scans. The payload executes the following steps: 1. During unpickling, it calls pip.main() to install a malicious PyPI package. 2. The installed package runs arbitrary code via setup.py, entry_points, or post-install hooks. 3. Execution is silent, with minimal logging to avoid detection. ### PoC Step 1: Create the Malicious Package...
