From a9e0f584c664ff2570c0f013e398cd11783c1a1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yash Chhabria Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 10:46:52 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] fix(security): harden pickle scanner blocklist and multi-stream analysis Expand ALWAYS_DANGEROUS_MODULES with ~45 new modules not covered by PR #518: network (smtplib, imaplib, poplib, nntplib, xmlrpc, socketserver, ssl, requests, aiohttp), compilation (codeop, marshal, types, compileall, py_compile), FFI (_ctypes), debugging (bdb, trace), operator bypasses (_operator, functools), pickle recursion (pickle, _pickle, dill, cloudpickle, joblib), filesystem (tempfile, filecmp, fileinput, glob, distutils, pydoc, pexpect), venv/pip (venv, ensurepip, pip), threading (signal, _signal, threading), and more (webbrowser, asyncio, mmap, select, selectors, logging, syslog, tarfile, zipfile, shelve, sqlite3, _sqlite3, doctest, idlelib, lib2to3, uuid). Add uuid as novel detection (VULN-6: _get_command_stdout calls subprocess.Popen) and pkgutil.resolve_name as dynamic resolution trampoline. Mirror new modules in SUSPICIOUS_GLOBALS for defense-in-depth. Fix multi-stream opcode analysis so detailed checks run across all pickle streams. Add NEWOBJ_EX to all opcode check lists. Includes 10 regression tests covering pkgutil trampoline, uuid RCE, multi-stream exploit, NEWOBJ_EX, and spot-checks for smtplib, sqlite3, tarfile, marshal, cloudpickle, and webbrowser.

Buffer opcodes for subsequent pickle streams and discard partial streams (binary tensor data misinterpreted as opcodes) to prevent MANY_DANGEROUS_OPCODES false positives - Add resync logic to skip up to 256 non-pickle separator bytes between streams, preventing single-byte bypass of multi-stream detection - Track pickle memo (BINPUT/BINGET) for safe ML globals so REDUCE calls referencing safe callables via memo are not counted as dangerous opcodes - Reset dangerous opcode counters at STOP boundaries so each stream is evaluated independently - Use first_pickle_end_pos for binary content scanning instead of f.tell() which advances past tensor data during multi-stream parsing Validated against 5 HuggingFace models with A/B comparison to main branch — no new false positives introduced.
