Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Picklescan versions below 0.0.28 fail to flag a pickle that calls torch._dynamo.guards.GuardBuilder.get, a PyTorch function that can be used to execute code. An attacker can craft a malicious pickle file that Picklescan reports as safe, and when a victim loads it with pickle.load(), remote code execution can occur. Upgrade picklescan to version 0.0.28 or later.
