GHSA-9726-w42j-3qjr: picklescan has Arbitrary file read using `io.FileIO`
(updated )
Unsafe pickle deserialization allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary server files and perform SSRF. By chaining io.FileIO and urllib.request.urlopen, an attacker can bypass RCE-focused blocklists to exfiltrate sensitive data (example: /etc/passwd) to an external server.
