Picklescan is vulnerable to RCE via missing detection when calling numpy.f2py.crackfortran.getlincoef

Summary

### Summary Picklescan uses the `numpy.f2py.crackfortran.getlincoef` function (a NumPy F2PY helper) to execute arbitrary Python code during unpickling. ### Details Picklescan fails to detect a malicious pickle that uses the gadget `numpy.f2py.crackfortran.getlincoef` in `__reduce__`, allowing arbitrary command execution when the pickle is loaded. A crafted object returns this function plus attacker‑controlled arguments; the scan reports the file as safe, but pickle.load() triggers execution. ### PoC ```python class PoC: def __reduce__(self): from numpy.f2py.crackfortran import getlincoef return getlincoef, ("__import__('os').system('whoami')", None) ``` ### Impact - Arbitrary code execution on the victim machine once they load the “scanned as safe” pickle / model file. - Affects any workflow relying on Picklescan to vet untrusted pickle / PyTorch artifacts. - Enables supply‑chain poisoning of shared model files. ### Credits - [ac0d3r](https://github.com/ac0d3r) - [Tong Liu](https://lyutoon.github.io), Institute of information engineering, CAS
