Description
A vulnerability was found in erdogant pypickle up to 1.1.5 and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is the function load of the file pypickle/pypickle.py. The manipulation leads to deserialization. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.0.0 is able to address this issue. The patch is identified as 14b4cae704a0bb4eb6723e238f25382d847a1917. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.
A remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in the erdogant pypickle library, specifically in versions up to and including 1.1.5. The issue arises in the load function of pypickle.py, where data is deserialized using Python's pickle.load() without proper validation or sanitization. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code by supplying a malicious pickle file. Although local access is required to exploit this vulnerability, the potential impact includes remote code execution and compromise of the affected system.
Users are advised to upgrade to pypickle version 2.0.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
