NumPy NPZ Scanner Bypass PoC

Vulnerability Summary

Format: NumPy NPZ (.npz) Scanner Bypass: modelscan 0.8.7 (NumpyUnsafeOpScan) + picklescan 1.0.1 (DUAL BYPASS) Impact: Arbitrary Code Execution

Key Finding

modelscan extracts the NPZ (ZIP) archive, finds inner .npy files, and scans them with NumpyUnsafeOpScan. The joblib numpy byte interleaving technique crashes pickletools.genops() at position 233 inside the inner .npy file. Both scanners report the parsing error but still conclude "No issues found."

This is a particularly strong bypass because:

  1. modelscan correctly identifies the NPZ format
  2. modelscan correctly extracts inner .npy files
  3. modelscan correctly invokes NumpyUnsafeOpScan
  4. The scanner STILL fails to detect the malicious payload

Reproduction

modelscan -p malicious_model.npz    # Extracts, scans, crashes, reports clean
picklescan -p malicious_model.npz   # Extracts, scans, crashes, reports clean
python3 -c "import joblib; joblib.load('malicious_model.npz')"  # ACE confirmed
