## Overview

### Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-vv6j-3g6g-2pvj. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

### Original Description
picklescan before 0.0.28 fails to detect malicious pickle files that invoke torch.utils._config_module.load_config function within reduce methods. Attackers can craft pickle files embedding arbitrary code that evades detection but executes during pickle.load, enabling remote code execution in supply chain attacks.

## Affected packages

- `picklescan <= 0.0.27`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `picklescan 0.0.28`
