CVE-2025-14606
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 · uneditedA security vulnerability has been detected in tiny-rdm Tiny RDM up to 1.2.5. Affected by this vulnerability is the function pickle.loads of the file pickle_convert.go of the component Pickle Decoding. The manipulation leads to deserialization. The attack can be initiated remotely. A high degree of complexity is needed for the attack. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
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 confidenceTiny RDM up to v1.2.5 contains an insecure deserialization vulnerability in the pickle.loads function within pickle_convert.go. The Pickle Decoding component accepts and deserializes untrusted pickled data without proper validation, potentially allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malicious pickle payloads.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Tiny RDM installation and versionRun the application with --version flag or check the binary/package version (e.g., tiny-rdm --version, or examine the installed package metadata)Affected if Installed version is v1.2.5 or lower
-
Locate pickle_convert.go in the installationFind the pickle_convert.go file within the Tiny RDM installation directory or source code treeAffected if The file exists and contains pickle.loads calls
-
Verify Pickle Decoding component is enabledCheck application configuration files, settings, or runtime logs for evidence that the Pickle Decoding feature is active or being usedAffected if Pickle Decoding is enabled or has been used recently
-
Inspect data flow into pickle_decode functionReview application logs, network traffic, or configuration to identify what input sources feed the pickle_decode functionAffected if Untrusted or network-origin data is being passed to pickle deserialization without validation
-
Check for exposed pickle decoding interfacesExamine any API endpoints, CLI interfaces, or remote connectivity features that could receive pickled data from external sourcesAffected if The pickle decoding component is exposed to network or untrusted input sources
A user is affected if Tiny RDM v1.2.5 or lower is running and the Pickle Decoding component is enabled and processing or can process untrusted pickled data.

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.
From vendor dataReplace pickle.loads with safer serialization formats (JSON, MessagePack) or implement strict input validation/sandboxing if pickle is required. Review all data flows entering the pickle_decode function and restrict untrusted input sources.
