Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
An issue in zuoxingdong lagom v.0.1.2 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code via the pickle_load function of the serialize.py file.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The lagom library v0.1.2 contains a pickle deserialization vulnerability in the pickle_load function of serialize.py. The pickle module is unsafe when loading untrusted data because it can deserialize objects that execute arbitrary code during the unpickling process, allowing a local attacker to achieve code execution.

MitigationReplace pickle_load with safer serialization formats (e.g., json, msgpack) or implement cryptographic signature validation before unpickling if pickle is required; audit all code paths using serialize.py to identify data sources and attack surface.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check installed lagom library version
    Run `pip show lagom` or `pip list | grep lagom` to verify the exact version installed
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 0.1.2
  2. Locate serialize.py in the lagom package
    Find the serialize.py file within the lagom installation directory, typically in the package root or src folder
    Affected if The file exists in the installed package at version 0.1.2
  3. Inspect pickle_load function usage in your code
    Search your codebase for calls to `pickle_load` or imports from lagom.serialize, and review where this function is invoked
    Affected if Your code calls pickle_load from the lagom library
  4. Identify data sources passed to pickle_load
    Trace the data being passed to pickle_load calls; check if the data originates from untrusted sources such as user input, network data, or files controlled by other users
    Affected if pickle_load is used to deserialize data from untrusted or external sources without validation

You are affected if lagom version 0.1.2 is installed AND your code uses pickle_load to deserialize untrusted or external data without additional validation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Mitigation

Replace pickle_load with safer serialization formats (e.g., json, msgpack) or implement cryptographic signature validation before unpickling if pickle is required; audit all code paths using serialize.py to identify data sources and attack surface.
