CVE-2025-67748
HIGH7.8EPSS 0.03%Fickling has Code Injection vulnerability via pty.spawn()
Published: 12/15/2025Modified: 5/20/2026
Description
Fickling is a Python pickling decompiler and static analyzer. Versions prior to 0.1.6 had a bypass caused by `pty` missing from the block list of unsafe module imports. This led to unsafe pickles based on `pty.spawn()` being incorrectly flagged as `LIKELY_SAFE`, and was fixed in version 0.1.6. This impacted any user or system that used Fickling to vet pickle files for security issues.
