CVE-2025-1889
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 · uneditedpicklescan before 0.0.22 only considers standard pickle file extensions in the scope for its vulnerability scan. An attacker could craft a malicious model that uses Pickle and include a malicious pickle file with a non-standard file extension. 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.
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.

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.

0.0.22
- 1. Identify the current version of picklescan in use by checking the project dependencies (e.g., requirements.txt, package.json, pip list, or similar dependency file)
- 2. If running a version before 0.0.22, upgrade to version 0.0.22 or later using the appropriate package manager (e.g., pip install picklescan==0.0.22 or pip install --upgrade picklescan)
- 3. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the installed version
- 4. Re-run the picklescan vulnerability scan on affected models/artifacts to confirm the fix is applied and non-standard pickle file extensions are now properly detected
