CVE-2025-71368 PUBLISHED

picklescan - Arbitrary Code Execution via Undetected doctest.debug_script

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 20.06.2026 Published: 30.06.2026 Updated: 01.07.2026

picklescan before 0.0.30 fails to detect the doctest.debug_script function when analyzing pickle files, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code. Remote attackers can craft malicious pickle files embedding doctest.debug_script calls that bypass picklescan detection and execute arbitrary commands upon pickle.load invocation.
