Vulnerability in Mmaitre314 Picklescan

CVE-2025-1889

picklescan before 0.0.22 only considers standard pickle file extensions in the scope for its vulnerability scan.

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.
