CVE-2026-22608

Fickling is a Python pickling decompiler and static analyzer. Prior to version 0.1.7, both ctypes and pydoc modules aren't explicitly blocked. Even other existing pickle scanning tools (like picklescan) do not block pydoc.locate. Chaining these two together can achieve RCE while the scanner still reports the file as LIKELY_SAFE. This issue has been patched in version 0.1.7.

Summary
  • (es) Fickling es un descompilador de pickling de Python y analizador estático. Antes de la versión 0.1.7, ambos módulos ctypes y pydoc no están bloqueados explícitamente. Incluso otras herramientas de escaneo de pickle existentes (como picklescan) no bloquean pydoc.locate. Encadenar estos dos puede lograr RCE mientras el escáner sigue reportando el archivo como LIKELY_SAFE. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 0.1.7.
