ZIP Scanner Bypass PoC
Vulnerability Summary
Format: ZIP (.zip)
Scanner Bypass: modelscan 0.8.7 + picklescan 1.0.1 (DUAL BYPASS)
Impact: Arbitrary Code Execution
Key Finding
modelscan extracts the ZIP archive and scans inner .pkl files with PickleUnsafeOpScan. However, the joblib numpy byte interleaving technique crashes pickletools.genops() at position 233. modelscan logs the parsing error but still reports "No issues found."
picklescan also extracts the ZIP, tries to parse the pickle, hits the same error, and reports clean.
Scanner Output (showing the crash)
modelscan output:
Scanning archive/data.pkl using PickleUnsafeOpScan model scan
--- Summary ---
No issues found!
--- Errors ---
Error 1: Parsing error: at position 233, opcode b'' unknown
Reproduction
modelscan -p malicious_model.zip # Extracts ZIP, scans data.pkl, crashes, reports clean
picklescan -p malicious_model.zip # Same crash, reports clean
python3 -c "import joblib; joblib.load('malicious_model.zip')" # ACE confirmed
