GHSA-m7j5-r2p5-c39r: picklescan vulnerable to arbitrary file create using logging.FileHandler

February 2, 2026

Unsafe pickle deserialization allows unauthenticated attackers to perform Arbitrary File Creation. By chaining the logging.FileHandler class, an attacker can bypass RCE-focused blocklists to create empty files on the server. The vulnerability allows creating zero-byte files in arbitrary locations but does not permit overwriting or modifying existing files.
