From a55d4992d25346293ae608b2073488becd1fb32d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: genisis0x Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 15:43:21 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix(unpickler): allow Alpha158/Alpha360 handlers and the standard dataset chain The RestrictedUnpickler safelist introduced by the recent security hardening (#2099 / #2076 / #2153) only covered the abstract ``DataHandler`` / ``DataHandlerLP`` classes plus ``StaticDataLoader``. Any rolling workflow that pickles a real Dataset (the default for ``Rolling._train_rolling_tasks``) walks into one of the contrib stock handlers and now crashes on reload (issue #2130): UnpicklingError: Forbidden class: qlib.contrib.data.handler.Alpha158. Only whitelisted classes are allowed for security reasons. ... Unrolling workflows happened to use a path that did not go through the restricted loader, which is why downgrading to 0.9.7 hid the issue. Extend ``SAFE_PICKLE_CLASSES`` with the qlib-internal classes that sit on the standard recorder pickle graph: * The four shipped contrib handlers: ``Alpha158``, ``Alpha158vwap``, ``Alpha360``, ``Alpha360vwap``. * The dataset wrappers (``Dataset``, ``DatasetH``, ``TSDatasetH``) and the additional concrete loaders (``DataLoader``, ``DLWParser``, ``QlibDataLoader``, ``NestedDataLoader``, ``DataLoaderDH``). * Every concrete ``Processor`` defined in ``qlib.data.dataset.processor`` -- they show up in every realistic ``learn_processors`` / ``infer_processors`` chain. These are all classes already shipped inside qlib itself, so adding them does not weaken the threat model the safelist was designed against (arbitrary code execution through external pickle payloads). Add regression tests pinning each added entry plus an end-to-end check that ``RestrictedUnpickler.find_class`` actually resolves ``Alpha158`` and that other unknown classes are still rejected.
