Machine-written summary

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

Fickling versions up to and including 0.1.11 are vulnerable. The UnsafeImportsML analysis pass records every import it inspects in a shared set, which causes the MLAllowlist pass to skip its allowlist check entirely. An attacker who can supply a pickle file to a system that uses fickling's check_safety() or fickling.load() can get a malicious payload past the safety check using any standard library module not on the denylist, which may then execute when deserialized. Upgrade to fickling 0.1.12 or later.
